Jack Gunthridge has illustrated Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven". As a children's book, he wanted to have a book parents could read to their children where the rhyming wasn't with words like cat, hat, bat, etc. He also wanted to have a book parents would enjoy reading to their children. Poe's original language has been retained in this story. It is intended to be read to children.
