Description
When the sixteen stories collected here first were published in 1819, readers in America and abroad greeted them with enthusiasm, and Irving emerged as America's first successful professional author. Some of the pieces are gently ironic, reflecting the author's interest in the traditions of the Old World and his longings for his home in the New. But it is in The Legend of Sleepy Hollow that Irving exhibits his true strength: the ability to depict American landscapes and culture so vividly that readers feel themselves a part of them.
