signalnine reviewed History, tales, and sketches by Washington Irving
Review of 'History, tales, and sketches' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
When most people think of Washington Irving, they think "Oh yeah, isn't he that dude who wrote that movie with Johnny Depp?" Fortunately for us, most people are idiots. When he wasn't busy being ambassador to Spain or fighting ninjas, Irving spun some immensely entertaining yarns set in colonial America of the 17th Century. Collected here is some of his best work. I highly recommend it.
