THE LEGEND OF SLEEPY HOLLOW AND OTHER STORIES -...

With his beloved Gothic tales  Washington Irving is said to have created the genre of the short
story in America. Though Irving crafted many of the most memorable characters in fiction  from
Rip Van Winkle to Ichabod Crane  his gifts were not confined to the short story alone. He was
also a master of satire  essay  travelogue  and folktale  as evidenced in this classic
collection. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow said  Every reader has a first book.... which  in early
youth  first fascinates his imagination  and at once excites and satisfies the desires of his
mind. To me  this first book was The Sketch Book of Washington Irving... The charm of The
Sketch Book remains unbroken  the old fascination still lingers about it.
