A wit, a wag, a laugh-aloud humorist and satirist? A jaunty man of ideas, with his finger on the pulse of the science and technology of his age? An ornery literary prankster whose hoaxes fooled thousands of people? This Madeira Collections anthology, edited by Wim Coleman, introduces The Poe You Don't Know — whose writings will delight, stimulate, and surprise.

“They had been drowned in Madeira wine…. Having heard it remarked that drowned flies were capable of being revived by the rays of the sun, I proposed making the experiment upon these.… In less than three hours, two of them by degrees began to recover life. They commenced by some convulsive motions in the thighs, and at length they raised themselves upon their legs, wiped their eyes with their fore feet, beat and brushed their wings with their hind feet, and soon after began to fly.… I should prefer to an ordinary death, the being immersed in a cask of Madeira wine, with a few friends … then to be recalled to life by the solar warmth of my dear country!”
—The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin
