Edgar Allan Poe is so widely celebrated, we even have our own Poe-inspired range of merchandise in our Literary Store here.
His poem The Raven is one of the most popular of his works; the likes of Vincent Price and Christopher Lee have used their famous voices to the prose and rhyme to create spine-tingling recordings of the poem.
I adore Christopher Lee’s work, and his wonderful voice, and I hope you do too.
