Katharine Pyle, född 22 november 1863 i Wilmington i Delaware, död 19 februari 1938 i samma stad, var en amerikansk tecknare, poet och barnboksförfattare.
Biografi
Katharine Pyle föddes som den yngsta av fyra barn i en gammal wilmingtonsk kväkarfamilj. Hennes bror Howard blev även han författare och tecknare. Som sextonåring 1879 publicerades hennes dikt The Piping Shepherd i Atlantic Monthly.[4] Hon studerade vid Women’s Industrial School och Philadelphia School of Design for Women, samtidigt som hon skrev dikter som trycktes i St. Nicholas Magazine och Harper's Bazaar. Hon bidrog med dikter och illustrationer till Howards bok The Wonder Clock som publicerades 1887[5] eller 1888[4]. Sedan hennes mor dog 1885 skötte hon de flesta uppgifter i hushållet.[5]
Pyle flyttade till New York 1892 där hon studerade vid Art Students League, samtidigt som hon fortsatte få uppdrag av St. Nicholas och Harper's Bazaar, och illustrerade diktboken In Sunshine Land. I slutet av 1895 eller början av 1896 återvände hon till sin hemstad igen. Under slutet av årtiondet studerade hon med Howard som teckningslärare på Drexel Institute.[5] Hon rönte framgång med boken The Counterpane Fairy år 1898, som hon både skrev och illustrerade. Därefter publicerade hon mer än en bok om året fram till 1934. En del var återberättanden av klassiska verk, och hon skrev även två verk om Delawares historia.[4] Mellan 1904 och 1909 var hon konstlärare i Boston och tillbringade somrarna på Cape Cod, där hon målade porträtt.[5]
Pyle konverterade till swedenborgianismen, och var engagerade för sociala reformer i bland annat ungdomsrättsfrågor.[4]

open. 40 Grannys Wonderful CKair She had two dwarfs of sons; one was named Spy,and the other Pounce. Wherever their motherwent they were not far behind; and whoevertasted her mead was sure to be robbed by thedwarfs. Scrub and Fairfeather sat leaning againstthe old tree. The cobbler had a Itimp of cheesein his hand; his wife held fast a hunch of bread.Their eyes and mouths were both open, but theywere dreaming of great grandeur at court, whenthe old woman raised her shrill voice: * What ho, my sons! come here and carryhome the harvest.* No sooner had she spoken, than the two littledwarfs darted out of the neighbouring thicket.- * Idle boys! cried the mother, * what haveye done to-day to help our living ? * * I have been to the city,* said Spy, * andcould see nothing. These are hard times for us—everybody minds their business so contentedlysince that cobbler came; but here is a leatherndoublet which his page threw out of the window;its of no use, but I brought it to let you see I was

To explain how Spy came by it, I must tell youthat the forest was not far from the great city whereSpare lived in such high esteem. All things hadgone well with the cobbler till the king thought thatit was quite unbecoming to see such a worthy manwithout a servant. His majesty, therefore, to letall men understand his royal favour toward Spare,appointed one of his own pages to wait upon him.The name of this youth was Tinseltoes, and,though he was the seventh of the kings pages,nobody in all the court had grander notions.Nothing could please him that had not gold orsilver about it, and his grandmother feared hewould hang himself for being appointed page to acobbler.

him; and Merrymind setout one summer morning with the broken-stringedfiddle imder his arm. There were no highways then in the northcountry—people took whatever path pleased thembest; so Merrymind went over the fair ground andup the hill, hoping to meet the little man, andlearn something of the night-spinners. The hillwas covered with heather to the top, and he wentup without meeting any one. On the other sideit was steep and rocky, and after a hard scrambledown, he came to a narrow glen all overgrown withwild furze and brambles. Merrjmiind had nevermet with briars so sharp, but he was not the boyto turn back readily, and pressed on in spite oftorn clothes and scratched hands, till he came tothe end of the glen, where two paths met; one ofthem wound through a pine-wood, he knew nothow far, but it seemed green and pleasant. Theother was a rough, stony way leading to a widevalley surrounded by high hills, and overhimgby a dull, thick mist, though it was yet early inthe summer evening.

His white hair and beard hung liketangled flax about him; his clothes were made ofsackcloth; and on his back he carried a heavyburden of dust heaped high in a great pannier. * Listen to me, you lazy vagabond! * he said,coming near to Merrymind: * If you take theway through the wood I know not what willhappen to you; but if you choose this path youmust help me with my pannier, and I can tell youits no trifle. * Well, father, said Merrymind, * you seemtired, and I am younger than you, though notquite so tall; so, if you please, I will choose thisway, and help you along with the pannier. Scarce had he spoken when the huge mancaught hold of him, firmly bound one side of thepannier to his shoulders with the same strong
