Description: In Irving's great work The Sketch Book fictional historian Diedrich Knickerbocker introduces us to Rip van Winkle the Dutch colonist who slept through the Revolutionary War; Ichabod Crane the superstitious social - climbing schoolmaster; and the pumpkin - topped Headless Horseman ancestor to countless horror film antiheroes. In addition to The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Rip Van Winkle' The Sketch Book touches on cultural and historical concerns that remain compelling thanks to Irving's modern outlook and impressive foresight.
