Gods' Man: A Novel in Woodcuts
Lynd Ward

Dover Publications, 2004

A True classic
I first ran across Lynd Ward's art at a Flea Market in Birmingham where a vendor had framed several pieces from one of his books. The images were so powerful that I had to know who the artist was. Lynd Ward, along with Virgil Finlay, has become one of the two major ...

Mad Man's Drum: A Novel in Woodcuts
Lynd Ward

Dover Publications, 2005

Wonderful, cryptic, and mute
"God's Man" (1929) was Ward's first wordless, illustrated novel. It was a hard act to follow: masterfully illustrated, articulate, and thought provoking. "Mad Man's Drum" (1930) tops that remarkable achievement. In it, Ward shows even finer skills in his demanding ...
  
  











  



  
Wild Pilgrimage: A Novel in Woodcuts
Lynd Ward

Dover Publications, 2008

Gorgeous, wordless graphic novel
This ambiguous story follows one man's journey, starting in an industrial hell. He escapes the concrete chasms and jail-like housing out into a natural, wooded environment. Human ugliness invades that too, when the nameless protagonist sees a lynching. It reminds us of ...
  
  











  



  
Johnny Tremain
Esther Forbes, Lynd Ward

Yearling, 1987

One of the best books of historical fiction ever written
I first read this book when I was in fifth grade and enjoyed it more when I reread it decades later. I still consider it one of the best books of historical fiction ever written. Johnny Tremain is an apprentice to a silversmith in Boston as the ferments of revolution ...

The Biggest Bear
Lynd Ward

Houghton Mifflin, 1973

Oh sure it LOOKS cute and cuddly...
In the November/December 2004 issue of Horn Book Magazine (a title that discusses children's literature with aplomb) there was an article in which an author sobbed at the lack of positive hunting images in picture books and children's novels. I thought through this ...

The Little Red Lighthouse and the Great Gray Bridge: Restored Edition
Hildegarde H. Swift

Voyager Books, 2003

A Great Old Book
This is a fantastic children's story with beautiful illustrations. It has a great moral and a very good story line. The only thing I would caution about reading this book to children is that is uses the word queer, which in its meaning is just fine, it's just I ...
  
  











  



  
The Alaska Gold Rush (Landmark Books #92)

Random House, 1960
  
  











  



  
The Silver Pony: A Story in Pictures
Lynd Ward

Houghton Mifflin, 1992

The child in this book is often seen as a girl by girls.
A very complex story with no printed words. A five year old can tell a fine story from the picturs and a few questions such as "What will happen next?" and 'Why is the father mad?" I called the child "he" once and was quickly corrected by my daughter who had the same ...
  
  











  



  
Storyteller Without Words
Lynd Ward

Harry N. Abrams, Inc., 1974

Complete, powerful summary of Lynd Ward's life and works
As a young boy, growing up in Florida, I would spend hours poring over copies of Lynd Ward's books, --God's Man, Mad Man's Drum, Wild Pilgrimage. There were no words, only the dramatic black-and-white images (occasionally sepia-and-white) of Lynd Ward's woodcuts. ...
