Tales Of A Traveller

Washington Irving was the first American literary artist to earn his living solely through his writings and is considered to be the Father of the American Short Story.

A collection of tales written after visits to Germany and France, was largely considered a failure.



The Tales includes:

A Hunting Dinner

The Adventure of My Uncle

The Adventure of My Aunt

The Bold Dragoon

The Adventure of the Mysterious Picture

The Adventure of the Mysterious Stranger

The Story of the Young Italian

Buckthorne and his friends

A Literary Dinner

The Club of Queer Fellows

The Poor Devil Author
