Edgar Allan Poe (Stories for Young People S.) - Hardcover

Edgar Allan Poe is one of America's most gifted writers, best known for his poems and short fiction - his brooding tales of murder, madness and revenge still grab today's readers. Here are five of his finest, presented and fully annotated with chilling and evocative illustrations throughout. The collection includes "The Tell-Tale Heart," "The Cask of Amontillado" and "The Oval Portrait" - and features an author biography, introductions to every story and definitions of unfamiliar vocabulary.

Edited by Andrew Delbanco, a much-honoured professor of humanities at Columbia University, whom Time magazine called "America's Best Social Critic." Illustrations by renowned artist Gerard Dubois.
