"Gr. 5 Up...spacious format; a wide variety of poems; and colorful, interpretive illustrations...."--SLJ. "The format is admirable: a handsome sampler of poems, with a short introductory essay, unfamiliar words briefly defined in footnotes, and a few prefatory sentences for each poem to establish context and aid interpretation. 13 of Poe's more accessible poems appear here, including 'The Raven,' 'The Bells,' 'Eldorado,' and 'Annabel Lee.'...concludes with passages from short stories that highlight Poe's mastery of prose....Cobleigh provides atmospheric art: an arresting picture of 'The Raven,' a cadaverous ghoul in 'The Bells,' and a depiction of the narrator of 'The Tell-Tale Heart' as a deranged Wee Willy Winky."--Kirkus Reviews.
