This collection from renowned author Washington Irving (famed for his haunting tale "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and the fantastical legend of "Rip Van Winkle") offers a diverse mix of stories ranging from the spooky and strange supernatural folk tales surrounding his native New England to stories more exotic of ancient legends and travel sketches from faraway places reflective of the time Irving spent journeying through Europe. - Summary by Ben Tucker
