Washington Irving’s story of a man who sleeps for twenty years in the Catskill Mountains and awakens to find a changed world has been a classic of American Literature. This deluxe gift edition carefully reproduces thity-four of Arthir Rackham’s enchanting and exquisuute paintings.
I gotta say that this short story isn’t as bad as some of the other short stories by Washington Irving.
This short story has a good scary aspect and descriptions but at times those descriptions falters and drags.
The plot itself for this short story has a good premise and reminds me of H.P Lovecraft’s stories, but done in a worse way than what H.P Lovecraft’s stories.
This short story has the same issue as some of the other Washington Irving’s short stories which is that the pacing of the short story is very uneven. Since it changes as the short story continues.
