Pepper and Salt, by Howard Pyle, is a wonderful collection of children's stories and poetry. Written at the turn of the century when children's literature was at its peak, its charming illustrations and fascinating tales impart valuable lessons in a way that is meant to both entertain and elevate young readers. The author writes, "One must have a little pinch of seasoning in this dull, heavy life of ours; one should never look to have all the troubles, the labors, and the cares, with never a whit of innocent jollity and mirth. Yes; one must smile now and then, if for nothing else than to lift the corners of the lips in laughter that are only too often dragged down in sorrow." The illustrations, drawn by one of the greatest artists who ever lived-the author himself-are both rollicking and lovely, and perfectly complete this clever and altogether delightful book. Newly designed and typeset by Waking Lion Press.

The Ruby of Kishmoor (1908) is a deceptively simple story by renowned author and illustrator Howard Pyle. From the very beginning, it concerns itself with the mystery behind appearances, with all that lies hidden beneath the veil of a first glance. ¿You may never know what romantic aspirations may lie hidden beneath the most sedate and sober demeanor.¿ This is how the reader is introduced to Jonathan Rugg, a young Quaker from Philadelphia who unwittingly stumbles onto the adventure of a lifetime. In Kingston, Jamaica to work as a merchant, Rugg is an average, unassuming man. When Jonathan meets a woman veiled in silver fabric¿and shrouded in mystery¿she gives him a ball of ivory that carries with it a dreadful curse. Meanwhile, the fabled Ruby of Kishmoor has disappeared. The pirate Captain Robertson Keitt, a former merchant whose escapades in Africa and the Middle East have passed into legend, has been murdered by his crew, who suspected their captain of conspiring against them to steal the ruby. As Rugg is plunged into peril, a mystery unravels unlike any other. Howard Pyle¿s The Ruby of Kishmoor is the tale of a man whose ¿serious¿ appearance conceals an abundant ¿appetite for romantic adventure.¿For the reader looking to satisfy a craving for adventure, this is a work which rivals the better-known classic of swashbuckling terror, Robert Louis Stevenson¿s Treasure Island (1882). Curiously enough, Pyle¿s student N.C. Wyeth would go on to illustrate a classic edition of Stevenson¿s work in 1911, and was certainly influenced by his teacher¿s well-documented skill for painting pirates and scenes on the high seas. The Ruby of Kishmoor, written and illustrated entirely by Pyle, is a book for children and adults alike.With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this new edition of Howard Pyle¿s The Ruby of Kishmoor is a thrilling work of adventure reimagined for modern readers.

¿A personification of divine forgiveness.¿-Jill P. May¿From American history books to Pirates of the Caribbean, the work of Howard Pyle continues to captivate us...¿-Big Think¿...it has a significant, universal theme, and it presents the details of daily life in Germany of the thirteenth century accurately and unobtrusively, making the period real and alive.¿-Malcolm Usrey¿He is as careful and painstaking and artistic with his children¿s books as the very best novelist are with their novels...But best of them all is Pyle¿s Otto of the Silver Hand.
