Edgar Allan Poe (Poetry For Young People)

If you think that poetry has to be sweet, nice, and romantic, think again. Step int the dark world of Edgar Allan Poe. Well-known for his spine-tingling, spooky stories that are even more chilling than today's horror movies, Poe also wrote poems that expressed the shadowy regions of his mind. More than twenty of his verses and selections from his stories - accompanied by mood-setting, color illustrations - provide a wonderful opportunity to read one of the world's greatest writers.
