Nearly two-hundred years after it was first published, the spooky tale of a Headless Horseman roaming the dark woods of Sleepy Hollow remains one of the best-known stories by acclaimed, nineteenth-century American author, Washington Irving. Originally published under the pseudonym Geoffrey Crayon, the stories featured in this modest collection showcase several of Irving's tales of the supernatural-from Ichabod Crane's doomed meeting with the headless figure, to a deal with the devil, to a German student's short-lived romance with a spectral lady of the French Revolution. This Bayley Street Press edition includes reprintings of the original stories first published in The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent. (1819) and Tales of a Traveller (1824).

Two volumes of the strange and ghostly by one of the earliest great American authors Those who know anything of American literature know that Washington Irving was one of its earliest and most influential giants. Born less than a decade after the birth of the nation, it is clear through many of his writings that he embodied the very spirit of his nationality, age and place. He was a prolific author, a craftsman of fiction and non-fiction alike and his works of history are enduring classics. Whilst Irving is a true American writer his subject matter is by no means provincial. He travelled widely and his works inspired by his time in Spain have left for posterity a fine legacy-most especially in the collection that is 'Tales from the Alhambra.' Irving actually lived within the walls of the spectacular Moorish fortress of Granada and the experience inspired wonderful fiction and travelogue of the highest order. Irving was firmly established as an author of influence by the first quarter of the nineteenth century and he encouraged other American writers of his time, such as Hawthorne, Longfellow, Poe and Melville, towards their own success. Regardless of his huge written canon, Irving was fated, in keeping with many authors, to be best remembered for some of his shortest work, for it is in the typically early American tales-'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow' and 'Rip van Winkle'-that his fame principally abides. Also, in keeping with many authors who wrote over a range of subjects, Irving had a taste for the bizarre and supernatural, as evidenced of course by his terrifying headless Hessian horseman! This two volume Leonaur collection of Irving's forays into the bizarre and other-worldly provides the reader with a cornucopia of strange stories set in a variety of times and settings, all guaranteed to provoke a chill or smile and sometimes both at once. The books are available in soft cover or hard back with dust jacket for collectors. This volume includes Irving's bizarre practical joke and irreverent 'history' of the early years of the City of New York, Knickerbocker's 'A History of New York, ' as well as propelling Irving to greater fame this bizarre account created history of its own and the term, 'Knickerbocker' has endured as a term for many things to do with New York, from its people to towering ice cream desserts! Accompanying it here readers will find nine shorter pieces including, 'Guests from Gibbet Island, ' 'Governor Manaco and the Soldier, ' 'Legend of the Moor's Legacy' and others.

Washington Irving (1783-1859) was the first American literary artist to earn his living solely through his writings and the first to enjoy international acclaim. In addition to his long public service as a diplomat, Irving was amazingly prolific: His collected works fill forty volumes that encompass essays, history, travel writings, and multi-volume biographies of Columbus and Washington. But it is Irving's mastery of suspense, characterization, tempo, and irony that transforms his fiction into virtuoso performances, earning him his reputation as the father of the American short story. Charles Neider has gathered all sixty-one of Irving's tales, originally scattered throughout his many collections of nonfiction essays and sketches, into one magnificent volume. Together, they reveal his wide range: besides the expected classics like "Rip Van Winkle," "The Spectre Bridegroom," "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," and "The Devil and Tom Walker," his fiction embraces realistic tales, ghost stories, parodies, legends, fables, and satires. For those familiar only with secondhand retellings of Irving's most famous tales, this collection offers the opportunity to step inside Washington Irving's imagination and partake of its innumerable and timeless pleasures.
