Howard Pyle war ein amerikanischer Illustrator und Autor, dessen Werke sich vornehmlich an junge Leser richteten. Seine Erzählungen siedelten sich häufig im mittelalterlichen Europa und in Abenteuergeschichten an, und er wurde für seine Piratenillustrationen berühmt, denen die Schaffung des modernen archetypischen Piratenbildes zugeschrieben wird. Pyle beeinflusste nachfolgende Künstlergenerationen maßgeblich durch seine Lehrtätigkeit am Drexel Institute und die Gründung seiner eigenen Illustrationsschule. Seine beständigen Werke, darunter klassische Nacherzählungen von Robin Hood und Geschichten über König Artus, fesseln durch ihren imaginativen Umfang und ihre künstlerische Meisterschaft.
