This Canterbury Classics edition of Edgar Allan Poe collects some of his best-known work--from "Annabel Lee" to "The Fall of the House of Usher," "Lenore" to "The Pit and the Pendulum," and many, many more. Poe's writings were truly original--and this unique book is the perfect look at his uncommon genius. Lexile score: 1310L.
