It was clear that I had wandered from the road to the village, and I had thus good traveller's excuse to open the gate before me, and inquire my way, at all events; so, without more ado, I proceeded.

A perfect example of Poe¿s famous descriptive prowess, ¿Landor's Cottage¿ will appeal to fans of his marvellous work, and is not to be missed by the discerning collector.
