Thank you for your note. I have indeed been to Sunnyside and Sleepy Hollow and took a tour of the Old Dutch Church and cemetery where Irving is buried. It was a wonderful experience that took me back in time.

An Amazon review:
"As I read this it reminded me of "The Man Who Invented Christmas" with the exception that this was true and covered more of Irving's stories. It was also fun to get into the creative mind of Washington Irving. It could be rewarding to a writer (or future writer). It adds dimension to the works Irving wrote with the voice-overs as he created the characters and their interactions. It was a fun and worthwhile read."
