Coles A Thorough Presentation of Washington Irving’s Sketch Book at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
This e-book briefly relates the stories of Rip van Winkel and Ichabod Crane, but treats the reader to other lesser known articles by Washington Irving recorded in his Sketch Book. We visit Westminster Abbey. We look for the Boar’s Head Tavern. We travel to Stratford-on-Avon for memorabilia on Shakespeare. We read about an English widow who dies of broken heart and a beautiful English maiden who refused to sin with the man she loved. We learn about James I of Scotland, a royal poet. On Christmas Eve, the Lord of misrule causes an abundance of mirth. John Bull provides a caricature of the English nation. A couple selections explain the woes of native Americans. A wife brings comfort to a husband who suffered financial ruin. A cripples soldier consoles himself with angling. An old book starts to talk, complaining that no one has read it for many years. Irving wonders whether or not he was daydreaming.
