Poe made the short story a distinct art form, and he has never been surpassed in it. His short stories are probably America's greatest contribution to world literature. They fascnated his own time, and they fascinate our time, for there is in them an eternal magic. No other writer has such an amazing faculty for writing fantasy with such logic and reality. POE's imagination is one of the very wonderful things in lterature. Mr. Cody is the author of that noted book "POE, MAN, POET, AND CREATIVE THINKER." His selection is a happy one and a very full one, and is completely representative.
