Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) was born in Boston, Massachusetts. As a boy he received an excellent classical education in England and Virginia. After attending the University of Virginia and West Point for brief stormy periods, he set out to seek his fortune as a journalist. Poe was an idealist, a visionary and the ablest critic of his time in America. He believed "a poem built in beauty is its own excuse for being." Paul Galdone is one of the bestknown illustrators of children's and adult books. Among his successes are the golden touch by Hawthorne, the deacon's masterpiece or the wonderful one-hoss shay by Oliver Wendell Holmes, and shadrach, MESHACH AND ABEDNEGO from the Book of Daniel.
