Washington Irving ranks as one of early shining stars of American literature that has remained exceptionally popular throughout American history. It goes without saying that his name is a household word in every corner of the world where American culture and made its presence felt. "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and "Rip Van Winkle" have been read by every generation of school children since they frist appeared in The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon. The Crayon Papers, like the more famous The Sketch Book, is a collection of shorts ostensibly written by one, Geoffrey Crayon, acting as both narrator and commentator. If one might accuse The Crayon Papers of having a common theme, which is dubious at best, it would be this--American abroad.
