This modestly priced anthology also includes such well-known works as "The Devil and Tom Walker," "The Spectre Bridegroom," and more, 15 short stories in all.

"Washington Irving... makes Nathaniel Hawthorne read like Dr. Seuss!"
Washington Irving (1783-1859), one of America's first successful professional writers, was born and raised in New York City. He also spent time in London and served as a diplomatic attaché in Spain. Best known today for his tales, he was equally famous in life for his sketches of European life and his biographies of historical figures.
Elizabeth Bradley is the editor of the Penguin Classics edition of Irving's A History of New York (2008).
