by Edgar Allan Poe (poet), Brod Bagert (editor), and Carolynn Cobleigh (illustrator)
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. This selection of Poe’s spine-tingling, spooky poetry includes his famous “The Raven” along with several others. For the last eight “poems,” the editor selected several poetic passages found in Poe’s spooky prose works, making this a unique selection.
An ideal way to introduce young readers to the marvels of poetry, the Poetry for Young People series opens up the world of wonderful word images by pairing classic verses with beautiful illustrations, and by providing helpful definitions and commentary.
Part of the Poetry for Young People series. Fully illustrated in colour, with an introduction to the poet, and index. 48 pages.
