Poe’s Tales of Mystery and Imagination published by Octopus Books, London, 1986, facsimile reprint of 1935 edition, large hardcover with dustjacket, size 194 mm wide x 252 mm tall, 318 pages, b&w and colour illustrations by Arthur Rackham.

Edgar Allan Poe’s celebrated Tales of Mystery and Imagination explore a haunting, twilight world of fantasy and terror, and include such masterpieces as ‘The Murders in the Rue Morgue’, ‘The Tell-Tale Heart’ and ‘The Fall of the House of Usher’.

This exquisite facsimile of the 1935 edition contains a selection of Poe’s unforgettable tales, as well as all the stunning illustrations – twelve of them in full colour – which renowned illustrator Arthur Rackham created for this volume.

An original copy of the 1935 edition is quoted in the high three to four figure regions. Even this edition can go into to three figures.

And no wonder. With Poe’s majestic storytelling and Rackham’s stunning illustrations you receive a combination that complements like Guinness and oysters…..but don’t over-indulge.

In good used condition, some minor sun-fade to jacket spine, no inscriptions, very small touch of edge foxing.
