When a bewitching young woman moves into the old Pym estate, young Edgar Poe finds himself enchanted. As he is wooing his new love, he discovers the island known as The Grey Lady has some supernatural entities that wish to keep their love apart. Based on Edgar Allan Poe’s poem Annabel Lee, this tale is sure to delight fans of Gothic Fiction and Paranormal Romance.
Author Matt Larcom, in this work, took an Edgar A. Poe (one of my absolute favorite authors!) poem, "Annabel Lee", and turned it into a short story. Very clever, Mr. Larcom!
For those not really into poetry, this is an inventive way to get the gist of the poem in a simple, quick, easy-to-read and understand format. This book seems geared toward younger readers but already loving Poe's writing, I enjoyed it.
Thank you, Mr Larcom, for bringing us this beautiful, tragic-romantic story and poem by Edgar Allan Poe which has touched my heart so deeply!
Like yourself, I love writing, reading (and chocolate!) and have recently come into a knowledge of his poetry as well as his familiar stories! What a treasure, especially Annabel Lee!
