About The Book

A UK limited edition hardback (400 copies only)

First Tartarus edition.  The title was first published by George Bell & Sons in 1900.

Illustrated and decorated by W Heath Robinson and an introduction by R B Russell.  Beautiful boards, end papers and illustrations.

SYNOPSIS:  “A haunting meeting of poetry and illustration, this new edition of The Poems of Edgar Allan Poe brings together the dark genius of America’s master of the macabre with the fantastical artistry of W. Heath Robinson.

From the mournful cadences of ‘The Raven’ to the spectral beauty of ‘Annabel Lee’, Poe’s most celebrated verses are illuminated by Heath Robinson’s intricate illustrations and decorative designs, rich in atmosphere, wit, and Gothic imagination.

Originally created during the golden age of book illustration, Heath Robinson’s artwork captures both the eerie melancholy and strange elegance that define Poe’s poetry.

This edition contains a new Introduction by R.B. Russell.”

  • Steve Woodland Buyer of “Children of Time ”

    Most of us buy things on line all the time, and the service is, as we all know, variable. Sometimes you buy something and it stands out as being a special transaction and you just feel you’d like to tell others in the hope that they will buy something from the same place and have similar experiences. So it was with my recent purchase of Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky.
