Overview

As you're undoubtedly aware, English is a highly non-phonetic language. So determined was he to change this, George Bernard Shaw would not give up even in death. Instead he proposed a contest in his will to make a 100%% phonetic English alphabet. The contest was held, the alphabet was created and his play Androcles and the Lion was converted to the new alphabet. Instead of spreading far and wide, it sadly died a quiet death... until now. In this work you'll find many examples of Poe's genius. Most know him only as the father of modern horror, not knowing that he also wrote love poetry, science fiction, science fact, plays, book reviews and a documentary on how he wrote The Raven. Now, for the first time ever, you can enjoy Edgar Allan Poe as you've never seen him before... in 100%% phonetic English. NOTE: This special condensed edition is primarily intended for people who are already experienced with the Shaw Alphabet and are fully aware of its advantages over our current spelling system.
