Essential "Reading":
I discovered this book when I was 16. It is a tale told only in woodcuts, sublimely, by Lynd Ward. There is no wanting for the written word here. Each page is meticulously cafted to take you, step-by-step, through the story of an artist who makes a pact with "Evil" to gain fame and fortune, only to come to realize that those goals are not worthy of desire in the first place. I have given copies of this book away to people that I thought could use some amazement in their lives. Each time I did so, I scrambled to find another copy for myself. I cannot recommend this work higher. It will appeal to any age; preschooler to octogenarian (older, if you're so lucky!). The tale is universal and the art is masterful.
