Stories for Young People Edgar Allan Poe Andrew Delbanco Gerard DuBois 9781402715150 Books

This book runs to 80 pages and includes The Fall of the House of Usher; The Masque of the Red Death; The Tell Tale Heart; The Cask of Amontillado and The Oval Portrait. Choice of stories is good, if predictable, and the stories feature a running glossary which will be useful for adults and young people alike.
I have mixed feelings about the illustrations for the book - some are excellent - as with the cover design and that of the temporary entombment in the Fall of the House of Usher - whereas others are amorphous and "bled" of detail - and offer little appeal to either the young reader or the adult.
Despite such reservations, I feel that this book offers excellent value for money - and recommend it along with the others in the series, of which I count at least four.

That "poor illustrations" reviewer must be blind. The illustrations are beautiful and provocative and were created by an award-winning artist. Gorgeous book in every way.
