Description

8 vol. 12mo., quarter leather with corner, all edges gilted, Knickerbocker edition, G.P. Putnam's Sons, New York, s.d. [ circa 1882-1884 ] Nice set of these 8 volumes of works by Washington Irving. We join an autograph letter from the Putnam's Sons office, dated from Paris July 30th 1884 : "Mademoiselle Marguerite Savoye, My dear young friend, I bring you a few volumes of our most read and best loved author Washington Irving. May the reading of them give you much pleasure. With affectionate regard. Sincerely Yours", signed "Susan Devin". Good condition (ex-libris Roger Raffard). L'écrivain américain Washington Irving affectionnait les pseudonymes (Geoffrey Crayon, Dietrick Knickerbocker.). Dans l'Histoire de New York raconté par Dietrich Knickerbocker, il romance les premières années de Manhattan ; dans le livre de croquis de Geoffrey ("Sketch Book") on trouvera deux de ses nouvelles les plus fameuses : "La légende de Sleepy Hollow" et "Rip van Winkle".
