Amazon.com description: Product Description: Sage, storyteller, and wit, Washington Irving created such staples of American fiction as the stories âRip Van Winkleâ and âThe 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. âHis 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.
âExceptional talentâ¦.I am one of his most ardent admirers. I admired Mr. Irvingâs work so much, in fact, that I gave it the ultimate praise; I âborrowed it.âââEdgar Allan Poe
