The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Other Stories From the Sketch Book (Signet Classics)

Sage, storyteller, and wit, Washington Irving created such staples of American fiction as the stories â€œRip Van Winkleâ€ and â€œThe Legend of Sleepy Hollow.â€ He earned his preeminence in early American literature with the masterpieces in miniature collected here: dozens of stories, travel essays, biographical discourses, and literary musings. â€œHis influence on American writers is unquestioned,â€ wrote Edgar Allan Poe, and his stories have proved as enduring as the Catskill Mountains the author immortalized.

â€œExceptional talentâ€¦.I am one of his most ardent admirers. I admired Mr. Irvingâ€™s work so much, in fact, that I gave it the ultimate praise; I â€˜borrowed it.â€™â€â€”Edgar Allan Poe
