Autor

Washington Irving (1783–1859) is generally credited with being the father of the American short story and was the first American writer to achieve international renown. Elizabeth L. Bradley, the author of Knickerbocker: The Myth Behind New York , serves as literary consultant to Historic Hudson Valley, the caretakers of Sunnyside—Irving’s Tarrytown, New York, home. She also wrote the introduction and notes for the Penguin Classics edition of Irving’s A History of New York.
