Rip Van Winkle, and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.

Macmillan. 1.50
Irving's two most popular sketches, in which young people delight.
The spirits of this region must have met Washington Irving more
than half way, and the rest was like play to him. How real and
living are all the people of his fancy! Of all the author's
work--serious and humorous ... Rip Van Winkle took the most
immediate and lasting grip of his public.

Five dollars seems to most of us a large sum to pay for a child's
book, but after seeing Mr. Rackham's remarkable work I think we shall
all agree that there can be no better way of spending our book-money
than in purchasing this fine edition of the famous tale, with its
fifty full-page pictures in color.
