Pepper and Salt

Description

Along the stony path of life, there is always room for a little seasoning. In this beloved collection, Howard Pyle dons the cap and bells of a wandering jester to offer a feast of “Pepper & Salt”—a spirited blend of marvelous tales and whimsical verses designed to delight the heart and sharpen the mind. From the miraculous “Apple of Contentment” that only the pure of heart may pluck, to the clever exploits of the “Skillful Huntsman,” these stories transport readers to a land where giants are outwitted by wit, and simple kindness is worth more than a king’s ransom.

More than a mere collection of fairy tales, Pepper & Salt is a masterclass in storytelling that cultivates a love for truth and a healthy sense of wonder. Pyle’s legendary prose and intricate, woodcut-style illustrations work in perfect harmony to bring a cast of unforgettable characters to life—reminding us that the most valuable “seasoning” in any age is a light heart and a steady character. It is an invitation to step away from the serious world for a moment and rediscover the joy of a tale well-told.

Pepper & Salt is part of a complete collection of Howard Pyle’s legendary works, now available in a matching set from Living Book Press.
