Synopsis:
"Born into a family that is already engaged in a blood feud with another noble house, Otto is sent to live with monks, but is reclaimed at age 12 by his militant, but loving father. The gentle-natured boy is kidnapped and mutilated by the rival family. Pauline, his captors daughter helps him escape. His father allows him to return to the monks who place him under the emperor's protection. His silver hand is a replacement for the one Otto lost while in captivity, but his injury does not prevent him from maturing wisely and marrying Pauline."
About the Author: Howard Pyle (1853-1911) was an American author and illustrator best known for his influential works of historical adventure and children's literature. Often regarded as the father of American illustration, Pyle shaped the visual and narrative language of tales about knights, pirates, and medieval life. His books, including Otto of the Silver Hand and his Robin Hood stories, helped define the genre of historical fiction for young readers and continue to be widely read today.
