The Ruby of Kishmoor is a novel written by Howard Pyle. The story is set in the 17th century and revolves around the adventures of Sir John Chandos, a young English knight who is sent to the kingdom of Kishmoor to retrieve a valuable ruby that was stolen from the English crown. The ruby is believed to have magical powers and whoever possesses it is said to have control over the fate of the kingdom.Sir John Chandos sets out on a perilous journey to Kishmoor, facing many obstacles and challenges along the way. He encounters treacherous enemies, including a notorious pirate and a powerful sorcerer, who seek to thwart his mission and claim the ruby for themselves. As he delves deeper into the mystery surrounding the ruby, Sir John discovers a web of deceit and betrayal that threatens to engulf him. He also falls in love with the beautiful Princess Rosamund, who is the rightful heir to the throne of Kishmoor but has been forced into hiding by her wicked uncle, the Regent of Kishmoor.With the help of his loyal companions, Sir John must fight against all odds to reclaim the ruby and restore Princess Rosamund to her rightful place as the ruler of Kishmoor. The Ruby of Kishmoor is a thrilling adventure story that combines elements of romance, magic, and suspense, and is sure to captivate readers of all ages.Finding himself once more in the open street, Jonathan Rugg stood for a while in the moonlight, endeavoring to compose his mind into somewhat of that sobriety that was habitual with him; for, indeed, he was not a little excited by the unexpected incidents that had just befallen him. From this effort at composure he was aroused by observing that a little gentleman clad all in black had stopped at a little distance away and was looking very intently at him.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Howard Pyle (March 5, 1853 – November 9, 1911) was an American illustrator and author, primarily of books for young people. A native of Wilmington, Delaware, he spent the last year of his life in Florence, Italy. In 1894 he began teaching illustration at the Drexel Institute of Art, Science and Industry (now Drexel University). After 1900, he founded his own school of art and illustration, named the Howard Pyle School of Illustration Art. The scholar Henry C. Pitz later used the term Brandywine School for the illustration artists and Wyeth family artists of the Brandywine region, several of whom had studied with Pyle. Some of his more notable students were N. C. Wyeth, Frank Schoonover, Elenore Abbott, Ethel Franklin Betts, Anna Whelan Betts, Harvey Dunn, Clyde O. DeLand, Philip R. Goodwin, Thornton Oakley, Violet Oakley, Ellen Bernard Thompson Pyle, Olive Rush, Allen Tupper True, Elizabeth Shippen Green, Arthur E. Becher, William James Aylward, and Jessie Willcox Smith. Pyle's home and studio in Wilmington, where he taught his students, is still standing and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. His 1883 classic publication The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood remains in print, and his other books, frequently with medieval European settings, include a four-volume set on King Arthur. He is also well known for his illustrations of pirates, and is credited with creating what has become the modern stereotype of pirate dress. He published his first novel, Otto of the Silver Hand, in 1888. He also illustrated historical and adventure stories for periodicals such as Harper's Weekly and St. Nicholas Magazine. His novel Men of Iron was adapted as the movie The Black Shield of Falworth (1954). Pyle travelled to Florence, Italy in 1910 to study mural painting. He died there in 1911 of a sudden kidney infection (Bright's Disease).
