SINOPSIS
Perhaps the marker of a true mythos is when the stories themselves overshadow their creator. Originally published under a pseudonym as in The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent., The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Other Stories gave America its own haunted mythology. This collection of larger-than-life tales contains Washington Irving's best-known literary inventions-"Rip Van Winkle", "The Spectre Bridegroom" and, "The Angler"-that continue to capture our imagination until today.
