Summary/Abstract: Reviewed Work: Irving, W. (2020). Rip Van Winkle and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow: Illustrated 200th Anniversary Edition. Orinda, CA: SeaWolf Press. This short essay reviewed Rip Van Winkle and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow: Illustrated 200th Anniversary Edition, which was just published in April of this year by SeaWolf Press. After clarifying the context in which it ought to be received and read, I explained that the new publication, containing a large number of exquisite illustrations drawn by Newell Convers Wyeth and Arthur Rackham, should be considered highly valuable in that it would help present-day people to read the two famous tales in the original by enabling them to vividly visualize a bygone world that has completely lost in material terms.
