In Gustave Doreacute;; one of the most prolific and successful book illustrators of the late 19h century; Edgar Allan Poes renowned poem The Raven found perhaps its most perfect artistic interpreter. Doreacute;s dreamlike; otherworldly style; tinged with melancholy; seems ideally matched to the bleak despair of Poes celebrated work; among the most popular American poems ever written.This volume reprints all 26 of Doreacute;s detailed; masterly engravings from a rare 19th-century edition of the poem. Relevant lines from the poem are printed on facing pages and the complete text is also included. Admirers of Doreacute; will find ample evidence here of his characteristic ability to capture the mood and meaning of a work of literature in striking imagery; lovers of The Raven will delight in seeing its mournful musing on love and loss given dramatic pictorial form.A selection of the Common Core State Standards Initiative.

This book is organized and illustrates the dance steps for each dance. There are some but not enough dance step illustrations in these two other Arthur Murray Dance books which we unfortunately bought first:Lets Dancehttp://www..com/Arthur-Murrays-Lets-Dance-Murray/dp/1258122413/ref=pd_sim_b_3Ballroom Dancinghttp://www..com/Ballroom-Dancing-Arthur-Murray/dp/1258122367/ref=pd_sim_b_3We also bought the Arthur Murray Foxtrot and Waltz CDs.Were taking weekly dance lessons; but would forget by the time we went to practice at home. Its too hard to take notes at dance. This book is great with the dance step illustrations and explanations!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Just started.
