# Tales and Poems - Hardcover

by **Edgar Allan Poe** (Author)

Designed to appeal to the book lover, the Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of beautifully bound pocket-sized gift editions of much loved classic titles. Bound in real cloth, printed on high quality paper, and featuring ribbon markers and gilt edges, Macmillan Collector's Library are books to love and treasure.

This companion volume to the _Tales of Mystery and Imagination_ contains Edgar Allan Poe's best-known poetry, and a selection of his very best stories (many of which originate in his 1840s _Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque_), along with his finest tales from the last decade of his tragically short life.

Many of these stories and poems tell of the familiar Poe themes of murder, obsession and love, but this volume also contains many overlooked tales of the fantastic, black comedies, parodies and hoaxes, such as 'The Unparalleled Adventure of Hans Pfall', 'Mesmeric Revolution', 'Hop-Frog', and 'The Imp of the Perverse'.

With an afterword by David Pinching.

### Author Biography

Edgar Allan Poe was born in Boston in 1809. His parents, both touring actors, died before he was three. He was raised by John Allan, a prosperous Virginian merchant. Poe published his first volume of poetry while still a teenager. He worked as an editor for magazines in Philadelphia, Richmond and New York, and achieved respect as a literary critic. In 1836, he married his thirteen year-old cousin. It was only with the publication of _The Raven and other Poems_ in 1845 that he achieved national fame as a writer. Poe died in mysterious circumstances in 1849.
