Voted 10/10 | Right choice at the right time to introduce this highest of the Kaatskills. At this time of year my grandmother would read us the tale of Rip Van Winkle and the Legend of Sleepy Hollow and I am looking at her 1925 copy illustrated by Eric Pape
When visiting here bring an illustrated version of these Washington Irving stories illustrated by Wyeth and perhaps the distant thunder is Hendryk Hudson and his crew bowling 9-pins in the hollow. |
