Washington Irving: Storyteller for a New Nation

112 pp. | Morgan | November, 1999 | Trade ISBN 1-883846-50-1 $$19.95
(4) YA World Writers series. The author of "Rip Van Winkle" and "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" is profiled in a flattering biography that focuses on his life as a writer and as the American envoy to Spain. Although the prose is capable, the book doesn't explore Irving's literary work with any depth, nor does it adequately explain its continuing popularity. Black-and-white reproductions, a time line, and a list of major works are included. Bib., ind.
Reviewer: Peter D. Sieruta
