This modestly priced edition includes both of these Irving landmarks, as well as other acclaimed short works by the famous essayist, travel writer, biographer, and historian: * The Spectre Bridegroom * The Devil and Tom Walker * The Wife * Westminster Abbey * Mountjoy * Adventure of the Mysterious Stranger and five other classics.
