My brain is having trouble wrapping my brain around this. It might be better if I read the entire presentation. #letters #Quotsy #ListyQuoteChallenge #QuotsyDec17
Great tour of the Edgar Allen Poe museum in Richmond. I wrote my Senior Thesis on The Purloined Letter in college.
This was a fun departure from the usual Poe story. This is considered to be one of the forerunners to modern detective novels. Being a huge fan of Sherlock, I really liked this. It may not be as involved as other detective stories, but it was enjoyable anyway. It's not your typical Poe, which may put some people off. 11/1,001 #1001Books
