Short Stories

First published in 1967, this book consists of three short novellas on the theme of women's vulnerability - in the first, to the process of ageing, in the second to loneliness, and, in the third, to the growing indifference of a loved one.

Washington Irving’s short stories have captured the imaginations of generations since the early nineteenth century. Now book lovers can enjoy “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” “Rip Van Winkle,” “A Sunday in London,” “John Bull,” and “Christmas” in this stunning new edition of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Other Stories with an heirloom cover.

Timeless characters such as Ichabod Crane, the Headless Horseman, and Rip Van Winkle are among the earliest of truly American literary figures. Now fans can revisit them and new readers can discover them in this highly giftable volume that features:
 

• A stunning, foil-embossed, faux-leather cover
• Beautifully designed end papers
• Irving’s best-loved stories in one volume

A must-have for every home library, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Other Stories is a book that you’ll reach for again and again, destined to grace your bookshelves for years to come. 

The stories in The Vanishing Point are both exotic and domestic, their settings ranging from Hawaii to Africa and New England. Each focuses on life’s vanishing points―a moment when seemingly all lines running through one’s life converge, and one can see no farther, yet must deal with the implications. With the insight, subtlety, and empathy that has long characterized his work, Theroux has written deeply moving stories about memory, longing, and the passing of time, reclaiming his status, once again, as a master of the form.
