Classics Illustrated #24

"The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" is a hauntingly beautiful work, acclaimed both for the lyrical quality of it's language and for the ghostly atmosphere it evokes. Samuel Taylor Coleridge's masterpiece relates the tale of a sailor who shoots a lucky albatross and is condemned to wander the sea in search of redemption, burdened with guilt over his deed and the resulting deaths of his shipmates. Dean Motter's magnificent paintings illuminate the supernatural wonders of Coleridge's epic poem. Prestige format, full color 48 pages on glossy paper with a $3.95 cover price.
