The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood (1883);
Otto of the Silver Hand (1888);
Jack Ballister’s Fortunes (1895);

and his own folktales,

Pepper and Salt (1886),

Later Pyle undertook mural paintings, executing, among others, The Battle of Nashville (1906) for the capitol at St. Paul, Minn. Dissatisfied with his style in painting, he went to Italy for further study but died shortly afterward.

Pyle had established a free school of art in his home in Wilmington, where many successful American illustrators received their education. | © Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc.
