Description

Washington Irving’s stories are an undeniable part of our Amer. heritage. Even before many of us learn to read, we hear of the Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow & of Rip Van Winkle’s lengthy sleep. In this ed., these stories are joined by their perfect complement, “The Spectre Bridegroom.” Set in an old castle in Germany, it tells of a young woman whose plans for marriage are temporarily derailed when she learns that the man of her dreams may be a ghost. All three are written with the lightly satiric vision that makes reading & remembering Irving’s stories such a delight. Washington Irving is generally recognized as the first great Amer. prose stylist. This edition contains illustrations by Henry Ritter, William Camphausen, Richardson & Darley.
