Description: Very Good. 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall. xxi, 339 pp., biblio.; 20 cm. Tight, clean copy. Browning. "When Washington Irving first published this collection of essays, sketches, and tales--originally entitled The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent. --readers greeted it with enthusiasm, and Irving emerged as America's first successful professional author. 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow' and 'Rip Van Winkle, ' two of America's most recognizable and loved works of fiction, display Irving's ability to ... read more
"And there is always a mishap with a woman to blame! I had forgotten that part! It was good to re-read this story that I read once upon a time- in high school. How is it I forgot all of the details and only remembered the witching hour ride over a bridge and the discovery of a pumpkinhead, a saddle and a lone horse at a farmers house????"
""The Legend of Sleepy Hollow", "Rip Van Winkle", and "The Author's Account of Himself " were my favorites. Some of the essays were interesting reads as well. Wish "Rip Van Winkle" were longer, really got into the story."
"I love this book and have read it at least 3 times. My favorites are "The Wife", "English Writers on America" and "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" but I also like "The Author's Account of Himself" and "Rip Van Winkle." This book really gives you an idea of what American writers were thinking in the 19th Century. I have been to Sleepy Hollow Cemetery to see where Iriving is buried. It is also the site of "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and it was amazing how accurate (even now) his description of the cemetery and the bridge is. It was funny that there was some guy there dressed up as "Rip Van Winkle" napping next to a tree (no joke). And the cemetery is so old that American and British soldiers during the Revolutionary War are buried side-by-side. Other prominent Americans are buried there such as Ralph W. Emerson. It's so old that you have to watch your step so that you don't trip over a mouse hole! A really fun place to visit. It's so quiet there it's eerie!"
"The Legend of Sleepy Hollow story is very much like the old Disney cartoon that we all loved as a kid with Bing Crosby narrating. I loved it! Some of Crosby's lines in the movie are taken verbatim from the book. Perfect for Halloween night."
