Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Otto of the Silver Hand" by Howard Pyle is a children's historical novel written and illustrated in 1888. Set in 13th-century Germany, it follows young Otto, son of a feared robber baron, who is raised peacefully by monks until reclaimed by his violent father. When rival barons seek revenge for past wrongs, Otto becomes caught in a brutal cycle of warfare and retribution that costs him dearly. This pioneering American historical novel for children explores themes of violence versus peace, redemption, and the possibility of breaking free from inherited conflict.
