The Washington Irving Anthology

Washington Irving sits atop the American literary canon alongside Mark Twain and Edgar Allan Poe. Indeed he was the first truly international American writer to achieve acclaim around the world as well as at home, and to make his living exclusively as a man of letters. His most famous stories "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow", and "Rip Van Winkle" are literary masterpieces that have stood the test of time to become true classics.

This anthology contains the complete collection of over 60 tales, as well as novels, essays, and numerous other literary works from this giant of American literature. There is a complete collection of Irving's fictional works, plus a wide selection of his immense oeuvre of non-fiction. The anthology has an interactive table of contents with links to every chapter, and has been carefully formatted and edited before publication.
