  • Thomas Malory and Sidney Lanier, The boy’s King Arthur; Sir Thomas Malory’s history of King Arthur and his knights of the Round table (New York: C. Scribner's Sons, 1917).
This frequently reprinted version of Malory was illustrated by Newell Convers Wyeth (1882 - 1945), father of Andrew Wyeth. N.C. Wyeth was a pupil of Howard Pyle’s, and his paintings for this book show the influence of Pyle’s style: Wyeth’s Arthur is the sort of robust figure emphasized in Pyle’s own work, and the landscapes suggest Pennsylvania’s Brandywine Valley, where Pyle had his school.
