No, I haven’t read them. Thanks for the suggestion. I have a few other books I’ve been planning on ordering from Amazon, & I’ll have to check them out. You might want to try “The Once & Future King” by T.H. White - a very enjoyable novel about King Arthur.

"Did you ever read Howard Pyles King Arthur books? Beautiful illustrations too." I read them long ago. Did you know Howard Pyle was considered to be "the father of American illustration?"

Howard Pyle, who is often called "the Father of American Illustration," also began to work in the Brandywine Valley. Pyle established an extraordinarily influential art school in Wilmington and Chadds Ford, where he trained dozens of artists, including major illustrators such as N.C. Wyeth, Harvey Dunn, Jessie Willcox Smith and Frank Schoonover. Pyle and many of his students are represented in the Brandywine River Museum. If you are ever in the Brandywine area, a stop at the charming Brandywine Museum is worth a look; several of Pyle's works are featured. His influence on NC Wyeth is apparent.
