"There is nothing in England that exercises a more delightful spell over my imagination than the lingerings of the holiday customs and rural games of former times."
Originally part of The Sketch Books of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent., which also included the famous stories, Rip Van Winkle and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Old Christmas is a tale from iconic early American author Washington Irving. The narrative depicts Irving's Christmas Eve trip by stagecoach to Yorkshire in England, and the delightful holiday games and rituals he shared with his hosts at their home, Bracebridge Hall. Illustrated by famed artist Randolph Caldecott, this edition will be sure to inspire holiday cheer in anyone.
Washington Irving (born April 3, 1783, New York, New York, U.S.--died November 28, 1859, Tarrytown, New York) was described as the "first American man of letters." He wrote numerous works but is best known for "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and "Rip Van Winkle," which have been called the first American short stories.
