About the Author
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.

The Extraordinary Ian Richardson,
By careful buyer (CT USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The King Arthur CD Audio Collection (Audio CD)
I grew up reading the Howard Pyle tellings of the Robin Hood stories so I was initially drawn to this audio collection by the author. But the real star here is the extraordinary voice of Ian Richardson whose range of expression and intonation give the stories added richness and depth. If you have ever watched Masterpiece Theater, you will have seen Richardson - he is currently appearing in a cameo role as the Chancellor in Bleak House. If you love good acting and good story-telling, this is the collection for you. If you find that you agree with my enthusiasm for Richardson, he has equally entrancing audio CDs of Machiavelli's The Prince and Dickens' Tale of Two Cities.
