![]() ![]() I am notoriously horrible at remembering the names of poems and short stories, but I often remember the first line – at least vaguely. However, my favorite part of this book is the index. I found this interesting because I’m currently elbows-deep in my family’s history and it was interesting to see what Poe was doing while my great-great-greats were still alive. It also features a pretty detailed timeline of Poe’s life, including his childhood and educational history. This edition opens with an introduction from Daniel Stashower, which tells of Poe’s writing career and touches on his personal life. The elegantly embossed cover features the ever-symbolic raven and an eerie, gnarled tree as beautiful as the work within, and the gray ribbon bookmark is perfect for holding my place. ![]() This gorgeous edition features every known tale published by Poe, including over 125 short stories and poems and his only published full-length novel, The Narrative of A. If you are a fan of Edgar Allan Poe’s works, or if you’re a lover of all things Gothic and macabre, you are going to love the Rock Point Timeless Classics edition of The Complete Tales & Poems of Edgar Allan Poe. ![]() ![]() ![]() But there is a hidden price that comes with Ainsley s work.

Dad experiments with several creative styles, none of which Zuri approves, until they break out the iPad and hair products, put on a YouTube hair tutorial, and create a beautiful hairstyle that Zuri loves. On a special day, the welcoming home of Zuri’s mother, Zuri wants to whip up an extra-special hairstyle to impress her mom with, and she gets her dad’s help in the process. The story begins with Zuri telling us how special her “kinky” and “coily” hair makes her feel, and how each different hairstyle allows her to express a different part of her personality and feel like an entirely unique person (a princess or a superhero, etc.).
