The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Other Stories by Washington Irving, 368 pages

Did you know that Washing Irving is considered one of the main forces of popularizing doughnuts as a New York treat and is responsible for Knickerbocker being a popular nickname for New York as well? I didn't know that until I read this collection featuring some of his short stories. This was a really interesting read and I enjoyed getting to know more about this forgotten and overlooked early American author.
