Eddie: The Lost Youth of Edgar Allan Poe

202 pp. | Simon | August, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4169-9764-1 $15.99
(4) 4-6 This novel imagines magical mischief inserted into Poe's childhood. Here young Edgar must prove his innocence in connection with the mysterious destruction of a chicken coop. The text's transitions between fact and fantasy can be awkward; roughly shaded drawings are more effective in hinting at the murky distinction between real and fantastical.
