Overview

The creator of unforgettable tales of horror that remain classics to this day, Edgar Allan Poe may be best-known as a nineteenth-century short-story writer, but he was also a great poet who composed verses that expressed his emotions and feelings. More than twenty of his poems are brought to a new generation of readers with colorful illustrations and easy-to-understand notes that will encourage the enjoyment and appreciation of a great talent. Selections include the famous, spine-tingling “The Raven” and “Annabel Lee.”

Editorial Reviews

"Cobleigh's rich palette and haunting illustrations are the perfect pairing to Poe's often macabre poems and Bagert's short commentaries give the reader just enough insight to begin exploring the works on their own." —Children's Literature
