by Washington Irving

Washington Irving was a New York-born essayist, historian, diplomat, and fiction writer in the early 19th century. He’s most famous for “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” the genre-defining gothic ghost novel named after Tarrytown’s adjoining village. We carry various works by Washington Irving, including “Rip Van Winkle” and a variety of editions of “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” (including Disney’s popular Little Golden Books edition), which make great souvenirs for our seasonal visitors.
