Macmillan Round About the Christmas Tree: A Miscellany of Festive Stories Ирвинг Вашингтон, Андерсен Ханс Кристиан, Дойл Артур Конан, Теккерей Уильям Мейкпис

There is a sequestered glen off the east coast of the Hudson, New York state, which has long continued under the sway of some witching power; the neighbourhood abounds with tales, haunted spots and twilight superstitions. But as hapless schoolmaster Ichabod Crane will discover, the wildest of all stories in this region of shadows relate to one particularly dreadful spectre - the Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow • Washington Irving's comic horror story is the best known of this collection of stories, observations and sketches written on his travels around Britain and America in the eighteenth century.

Вашингтон Ирвинг - первый романтик американской литературы, "первый посол Нового мира в Старом", по выражению У. Теккерея.

Ирвинга • В сборнике представлено 31 произведение Ирвинга, включая "Легенду о Сонной лощине" • Книга на английском языке • HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics • 'There was a contagion in the very air that blew from that haunted region; it breathed forth an atmosphere of dreams and fancies infecting all the land.' • Featuring 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow' and 'Rip Van Winkle', this collection of inspired essays, stories and sketches established Washington Irving's reputation as one of America's foremost authors

Новеллы Вашингтона Ирвинга завораживают, пугают, а главное – читаются на одном дыхании. Герои этих мистических историй встречают призраков и духов, ищут зачарованные клады, бродят по сумрачным лесам, таинственно исчезают и заключают сделку с самим дьяволом. Их жизнь – настоящий ночной кошмар.

Рождественская елка " - о рождественских елках, подарках, снеге и толстеньком веселом человечке, который, возможно, просто сможет спасти положение … • Книга на английском языке • Mr. Forgetful is not at all good at remembering things, so it is hardly surprising that this Christmas he has forgotten to buy a tree. Christmas with no tree! Where will Father Christmas leave the presents?! • And so begins a very funny and forgetful tale of Christmas trees, presents, snow and a plump, jolly man who might just be able to save the day … • Mr Men and Little Miss Celebrations introduce children to all the exciting occasions that people celebrate including birthdays, Christmas, Halloween, Easter, sporting events … and even a trip to the moon
