1911 Rip Van Winkle by Washington Irving Antique American Fiction Book

Rip Van Winkle
Together With The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow
By Washington Irving
Published by Greening & Co Ltd: London 1911
Playhouse Edition

"This early 20th-century "Playhouse Edition" brings together two of Washington Irving's most beloved tales of American folklore — Rip Van Winkle and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow — in a handsome illustrated format. Rip Van Winkle tells the hauntingly whimsical story of a kind-hearted but idle villager who falls asleep in the Catskill Mountains for twenty years, awakening to find his world forever changed. The Legend of Sleepy Hollow introduces the timid schoolteacher Ichabod Crane and the mysterious Headless Horseman, a tale blending humour, superstition, and early American myth with Irving's graceful prose and timeless irony.

Issued by London's Greening & Co. in 1911, this "Playhouse Edition" features an evocative pictorial cloth binding and a striking frontispiece illustration capturing Rip's bewildered awakening — a visual prelude to Irving's enduring blend of fantasy and melancholy. A fine collectible edition for admirers of early illustrated literature, students of classic American storytelling, or those drawn to the ghostly charm of Irving's Hudson Valley legends."
