(1) 4-6 Illustrated by Max Grafe. An ex-soldier accepts a hard bargain: he'll be rich forever if, for seven years, he wears the skin of a bear; failure means eternal perdition. Schlitz narrates with clarity and grace. Except for the devil's green coat, Grafe's atmospheric full-page illustrations are almost monochromatic, composed of grays and browns with an occasional wash of blue, gleam of gold, or sunset hue.
