Beschreibung

This volume collects the best macabre stories of Washington Irving. Blending sly humour with supernatural thrills, these tales are among the most beloved and re-read of all American fiction. In the 13 stories gathered for this volume, Irving evokes the colourful landscapes of his Hudson Valley hometown and conjures characters and creatures from its historical past for a unique kind of weird tale that speaks directly to America s experience as a fledgling nation fashioning its own folk heritage. Selections include: Rip Van Winkle ; The Legend of Sleepy Hollow ; The Adventures of the German Student ; The Devil and Tom Walker ; and The Guests of Gibbet Island .

As always I loved the illustrations by Arthur Rackham, but I was a bit disappointed with the story. I don't recall having read it before, but I was surprised at how little the Headless Horseman was involved in the story. I suppose all of the adaptations I'd seen made my expect something else entirely. It was a nice enough story, but I wanted a different ending.
