The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Other StoriesCourier Corporation, 8.06.2012 г. - 176 страници The quintessential American writer, Washington Irving emerged as the country's first popular author with such beloved nineteenth-century short stories as "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and "Rip Van Winkle."
