A good intro to Poe...

Rather than expecting some great cinematic masterpiece, as a few of my fellow reviewers did, I went into this short with the proper expectations. After all, it's only 23 minutes in duration. This is simply a reading of this classic tale in play form, appropriate for ages 13 and up. I had just introduced my 13 year old to Poe via the "Who Was..." biography series and then we visited The Poe Museum in Richmond, Va. So I thought an age appropriate video would be a good way to introduce his best known and most well loved story to him. Yes, it's still a little scary to most 13 year olds, but not too scary. Recommend!
