Immerse yourself in two classics of American literature with this edition of Dover Children's Thrift Classics. 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow' tells the story of Ichabod Crane and his terrifying encounter with the Headless Horseman, while 'Rip Van Winkle' tells the story of a man who wakes up after a twenty-year sleep in a transformed world. Ideal for young and adult readers, this collection offers humor and suspense in two unforgettable stories by Washington Irving.
Washington Irving was an American short-story writer, essayist, biographer, historian, and diplomat of the early 19th century. He wrote the short stories "Rip Van Winkle" (1819) and "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" (1820), both of which appear in his collection The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent. His historical works include biographies of Oliver Goldsmith, Muhammad, and George Washington, as well as several histories of 15th-century Spain that deal with subjects such as the Alhambra, Christopher Columbus, and the Moors. Irving served as the American ambassador to Spain in the 1840s.
