Washington Irving was an American short story writer, essayist, biographer, historian, and diplomat of the early 19th century. He is best known for his short stories "Rip Van Winkle" (1819) and "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" (1820), that appear in the collection The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent. or simply the Sketch Book, as commonly referred. "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" is among the earliest examples of American fiction that has not lost its popularity, especially during Halloween. More recently, the story has also inspired the successful TV series titled simply Sleepy Hollow. In 1974, the story was recognized with the issue of a postage stamp by the US Postal Service. "The Spectre Bridegroom" stands out as one of the few longer, folktale-style stories that is not set in America. The story, a Traveler Tale as the author calls it, is introduced by a much shorter story titled the "Inn Kitchen," which is the only story Geoffrey Crayon, the pseudonymous narrator, remembers after spending the evening in the kitchen of the Inn he was staying at, listening at the stories told by travelers and local folks gathered there. This production includes all three stories, and all their illustrations, as published in the book edition by J. B. LIPPINCOTT & CO., Philadelphia, 1875

Along with "Rip Van Winkle", "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" is among the earliest examples of American fiction with enduring popularity, especially because of a character known as the Headless Horseman believed to be a Hessian soldier who was decapitated by a cannonball in battle. "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" relates the tale of Ichabod Crane, a lean, lanky and extremely superstitious schoolmaster from Connecticut, who competes with Abraham "Brom Bones" Van Brunt, the town rowdy, for the hand of 18-year-old Katrina Van Tassel, the daughter and sole child of wealthy farmer Baltus Van Tassel. Ichabod Crane, a Yankee and an outsider, sees marriage to Katrina as a means of procuring Van Tassel's extravagant wealth ...

In spite of the importance of the idea of the 'tale' within Romantic-era literature, short fiction of the period has received little attention from critics. Contextualizing British short fiction within the broader framework of early nineteenth-century print culture, Tim Killick argues that authors and publishers sought to present short fiction in book-length volumes as a way of competing with the novel as a legitimate and prestigious genre. Beginning with an overview of the development of short fiction through the late eighteenth century and analysis of the publishing conditions for the genre, including its appearance in magazines and annuals, Killick shows how Washington Irving's hugely popular collections set the stage for British writers. Subsequent chapters consider the stories and sketches of writers as diverse as Mary Russell Mitford and James Hogg, as well as didactic short fiction by authors such as Hannah More, Maria Edgeworth, and Amelia Opie. His book makes a convincing case for the evolution of short fiction into a self-conscious, intentionally modern form, with its own techniques and imperatives, separate from those of the novel.
