An attractive 1886 George Routledge & Sons edition of Washington Irving’s The Sketch Book, one of the foundational works of American literature. This collection contains Irving’s famous essays and stories, including Rip Van Winkle and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, blending folklore, travel writing, humor, and observation. Bound in a handsome Victorian half-binding with marbled boards, it captures the feel of a nineteenth-century gentleman’s library. A wonderful piece for collectors of Americana, ghost stories, and early literary classics.
