Ichabod Crane is a young schoolmaster from Connecticut now living in Sleepy Hollow, a settlement in New York State notorious for rumours of ghostly visitations, especially from the infamous Headless Horseman. Considered an outsider by the local inhabitants, he falls in love with the eighteen-year-old Katrina Van Tassel, but has to contend with the loutish Brom Bones for her affections. Then one night Crane’s mounting problems come to a head when he finally experiences the horrors of the supernatural first-hand…A classic tale of American Gothic, ‘The Legend of Sleepy Hollow’ has found a central place in the collective imagination and inspired many adaptations. Also included in this volume is a selection of some of Irving’s most celebrated ghostly tales, such as ‘The Phantom Island’ and ‘The Devil and Tom Walker’.

Taken from Irving's Tales of a Traveller First published in 1824, Tales of a Traveller included some of Washington Irving's most Gothic stories, set throughout Europe rather than in the familiar haunted precincts of the Hudson River Valley. Years before Edgar Allen Poe began his literary career, Irving was already in the business of scaring readers silly. Read them... if you dare

Excerpt from Introduction by Marcia Lynn McClure: My soul respires autumn I sort of have the feeling, as I introduce you to "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" by Washington Irving, that is all I need to say. My soul respires autumn, and "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" respires autumn beauty and wonder of a bygone time. So I'm sure you see the correlation between the breathing of my soul and Irving's work. And yet, I digress. Washington Irving was born April 3, 1783, in New York City, New York. He was among the very first American writers to gain European acclaim. Charles Dickens, Lord Byron, and Sir Walter Scott were just a few of his admirers abroad. Many American writers were inspired, encouraged, and mentored by him, including Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and even Edgar Allen Poe. He was made popular the nickname "Gotham" for New York City and is the author of the phrase "the almighty dollar." And it was Washington Irving's writings that shaped the way Americans anticipated, perceived, and celebrated Christmas--including a dream sequence authored by Irving that became the basis for our own American version of St. Nicholas, i.e. Santa Claus. Of course, you can search out Irving's accomplishments, accolades, and author histories further if you like. My intention is to draw you into a romantic love for his "Legend of Sleepy Hollow."

The biography of Benjamin Bonneville - U. S. Army officer, fur trapper, and bold adventurer of the Old West - is presented here in full. A legend of his time, Captain Bonneville personified the expansionary spirit of the United States during the early-to-mid 19th century.

Writing in the 1830s, at the time when Bonneville was at the peak of his renown both in North America and internationally, Washington Irving capably and authentically used his gifts to chronicle the life of his subject. Primarily known for his fictional writings, Irving organized this book into episodic chapters, wherein the major events and highlights of Bonneville's trailblazing life are told as a sequential story.

Rip Van Winkle by Washington Irving. "Rip Van Winkle" is a short story by the American author Washington Irving first published in 1819. It follows a Dutch-American villager in colonial America named Rip Van Winkle who falls asleep in the Catskill Mountains and wakes up 20 years later, having missed the American Revolution. Irving wrote it while living in Birmingham, England as part of the collection The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent. The story is set in New York's Catskill Mountains, but Irving later admitted, "When I wrote the story, I had never been on the Catskills." "Rip Van Winkle" is set in the years before and after the American Revolutionary War in a village at the foot of New York's Catskill Mountains where Rip Van Winkle lives, a Dutch-American villager. One autumn day, Van Winkle wanders into the mountains with his dog Wolf to escape his wife's nagging. He hears his name called out and sees a man wearing antiquated Dutch clothing; he is carrying a keg up the mountain and requires help. Together, the men and Wolf proceed to a hollow in which Rip discovers the source of thunderous noises: a group of ornately dressed, silent, bearded men who are playing nine-pins.
