With an introduction by Derek Tangye. In the midst of the Battle of Monte Cassino a big brown bear helped soldiers to unload ammunition. The bear was called Voytek and his owners were Polish soldiers. Voytek was famous throughout the Army as mascot, friend and constant source of entertainment - and chaos. At the end of the War he and his owners came to Scotland. There, in the lowlands, Voytek's final escapades took place - including his pursuit of a German POW up a tree!

Edgar Allan Poe is perhaps best known as a writer of mystery tales. However, he was also of great importance as a poet -- a serious craftsman who influenced many later writers and himself took bold, imaginative strides into the future.While some of his poems have the macabre overtones of his stories, others are simple, lyrical expressions of emotion evoking a timeless and haunting quality.This selection of his verse is accompanied throughout by watercolours painted by Edmund Dulac for The Bells and Other Poems by Edgar Allan Poe, 1912.
