Landors Cottage

This vintage book contains Edgar Allen Poes 1849 short story, "Landors Cottage". Unlike the majority of Poes work, this story is devoid of mystery, murder, and the macabre; instead, it is a detailed and masterful description of a lone cottage. A perfect example of Poes famous descriptive prowess, "Landors Cottage" will appeal to fans of his marvellous work, and is not to be missed by the discerning collector. Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) was an American author, editor, poet, and critic. Most famous for his stories of mystery and horror, he was one of the first American short story writers, and is widely considered to be the inventor of the detective fiction genre. Many antiquarian books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
