The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow And Other Stories

In Irving`s great work, The Sketch Book, fictional historian Diedrich Knickerbocker introduces us to Rip van Winkle, the Dutch colonist who slept through the Revolutionary War; Ichabod Crane, the superstitious, social-climbing schoolmaster; and the pumpkin-topped Headless Horseman, ancestor to countless horror film antiheroes. In addition to `The Legend of Sleepy Hollow` and `Rip Van Winkle`, The Sketch Book touches on cultural and historical concerns that remain compelling, thanks to Irving`s modern outlook and impressive foresight. This new edition, with an introduction from Elizabeth L. Bradley, demonstrates how inextricably Irving`s writings are woven into the fabric of American culture - high and low.
