**On the 150th anniversary of artist Arthur Rackham's birth, a gorgeous

**
Arthur Rackham is widely regarded as one of the leading illustrators
from the golden age of British book illustration, known for his richly
imagined fantasy illustrations of fairy tales and other children's
books. Known as "The Dean of Fairyland," he developed what has been
described as a fusion of Nordic style with Japanese woodblock
traditions. His illustrated Tales of Mystery and Imagination by Edgar
Allan Poe, first published in 1935, contains a selection of twenty-five
of Poe's best stories, including "The Tell-Tale Heart," "The Murders in
the Rue Morgue," "The Gold-Bug," "The Cask of Amontillado," and "The Pit
and the Pendulum." Our beautiful Children's Classics hardcover edition,
with Rackham's inventive full-color and black-and-white illustrations,
makes an irresistible gift for fans of all ages.
