Howard Pyle
Howard Pyle (1853-1911) was a celebrated artist, author, and teacher -- and a primary figure in the history of children's literature. Not only did he guide and inspire such artistic talents as N. C. Wyeth, Maxfield Parrish, and Jessie Willcox Smith, but he was also a master storyteller in his own right. The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood, Pepper & Salt, and The Wonder Clock are among the many stories and folktales that he wrote and illustrated.

Reviews for The Garden Behind the Moon
3 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A book that makes you think long after you finish it, this is extremely reminiscent of George MacDonald's fairy tales and was first published around the same era.David, a boy other children ridicule as a moon-calf, takes the moonlight path over the ocean and into the moon itself. After months of living in the moon and playing in the moon's garden, David embarks on a quest to retrieve something that was taken from the brown earth long ago.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A very strange mix of 19th century children's fable and older fairy tales with the Moon Angel being death/transition. The chapter headings have the charm of Howard Pyles wood cut style drawings while the realistic illustrations are more pedestrian than fanciful.
