Manage episode 445364960 series 2936123
Do your prefer old Dutch horror stories or refined English gentry?
'The Sketchbook Of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent' by Washington Irving is a mix of short stories (mostly about English observations from an American). It alternates between nonfiction & fiction, mostly told from the POV of the author. It's most famous for the two Dutch inspired stories of Rip Van Winkle & The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow but you'll also be entertained by Christmas with an eccentric nobleman, why American literature is being discounted, hunting for Shakespeare relics & tales of lovers & princes.
