Label TextHoward Pyle's story describes the life of young Otto, a victim of kidnapping in medieval Germany. The New York Times reviewer of the book noted that "Mr. Pyle gets something of the rudeness of ancient woodcuts into (this) work," alluding to Pyle's desire to suggest medieval printmaking in the illustrations.
