Other works
 * Otto of the Silver Hand, about the son of a robber baron during the medieval period.
 * Rejected of Men: A Story of To-day (1903), setting the story of Jesus as if it had occurred during early twentieth-century America.


 * Portfolio of Etchings: In 1903 the Bibliophile Society of Boston commissioned Pyle to create a series of paintings of scholars and bibliophiles for a limited, four-volume set of books titled The bibliomania, or book-madness. The paintings proved popular and the Bibliophile Society commissioned American engraver W. H. W. Bicknell to create copper etched copies of Pyle's five oil paintings from The Bibliomania books. The etched prints in the Portfolio of Etchings portray the following literary figures:
 * “Friar” Bacon in His Study
 * Erasmus, Colet & More
 * "Izaak" Walton
 * Caxton at his press
 * Richard de Bury tutoring young Edward III
 * The Wonder Clock (1887), a collection of twenty-four tales, one for each hour of the day. Each tale was prefaced by a whimsical verse telling of traditional household goings-on at that hour. His sister Katharine Pyle wrote the verses. Pyle created the tales based on traditional European folktales.
 * Pepper and Salt, or Seasoning for Young Folk, traditional tales for younger readers which he also illustrated.
 * After his death, a publisher collected a number of his pirate stories and illustrations and published them as Howard Pyle's Book of Pirates (1921).
