(Continued from Poe 1969, Pt. 15)
THE GOLD BUG and other TALES of MYSTERY
Gallery of Illustrations
Here's an unusual one. From the "Library Thing" website:
Series description
The books in this series are large
(11.5x8.5) with large print. They have wide margins and have many
annotations with illustrations in those margins to help explain the
times, items and other things mentioned in the stories. They have a
"Backward" at the end with a writeup about the author and his/her
writing. Most stories are unabridged, or, as in The Jungle Book, only
include some of the stories, so that the ones included can remain
unabridged. Illustrations are black and white. Published by Classic Press, Incorporated-Santa Rosa, California
When I bought this, I wasn't sure exactly what it was, and only as I'm
doing up this page am I finding out it was part of a whole series of
such books. This volume contains the complete text of 9 of Poe's stories, and 8 of his poems, along with illustrations, and educational info in the margins. So, part story-book, part children's textbook!
The funny thing is, the "Library Thing" page DOESN'T list THIS book!
But here it is.
I'm setting up a gallery of illustrations. The cover is by Don Irwin,
while all the interiors are by Al Davidson. ENJOY!
