Otto of the Silver Hand is as captivating and beautiful as a knight in shining armor tale can be. It's a tale of love, courage, good and evil.
It is truly a great book to read aloud to children.
Born into a baronial family that is already engaged in a blood feud with another noble house, motherless Otto is sent to live with monks while still an infant.
Reclaimed at age 12 by his loving father, the gentle-natured boy is kidnapped and mutilated by the rival family. Fortunately, Otto finds comfort with his captor's daughter, Pauline, who helps him escape.
His father's courage and cunning allow his safe return to the monks who place him under the emperor's protection. His silver hand is a replacement for the one Otto lost while in captivity, but his injury does not prevent him from maturing wisely and marrying Pauline.
Children and adults will love this wonderful book about honor and virtue in the Middle Ages. This is so beautifully written!
Otto proves that evil begets evil and good begets honor -- and above all that CHARACTER DOES MATTER. The novel, first published in 1888 by one of America's finest authors is inspiring and exciting.
