Description:
Sleepy Hollow Press, NY, 1981. 1st edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. "Diedrich Knickerbocker was created in 1809 by a young Washington Irving, who used the character to narrate his classic satire, 'A History of New York.' According to Irving's partisan narrator, everything good and distinctive, proud and powerful, about New York City - from the doughnuts to the twisting streets of lower Manhattan - could be traced back to New Amsterdam. Terrific general interest, cultural history of a city with a rich and lively literary past. First-ever book on the eponymous myth that has informed New York City culture since the early 1800s." [Pub.
