概要

 Welcome, kind listener, to The Washington Irving Library - a quiet corner of the modern world where old tales wander freely once more. Here are gathered the sketches, legends, and curious histories of America’s earliest storyteller, read in full and unhurried, as though beside a hearth on an autumn evening.

From the misty hollows of the Hudson Valley to the rambling pages of forgotten journals, each episode invites you to linger awhile in the company of dreamers, schoolmasters, travellers, and ghosts both merry and melancholy. This library stands ever open, its lamp lit, its pages turning, and its stories ready to be heard anew.Public domain
