Old Christmas And Bracebridge Hall: From The Sketchbook Of Washington Irving is a book that was originally published in 1919. The author, Washington Irving, is known for his contributions to American literature, particularly in the genres of short stories and essays. This book is a collection of some of his most famous works, including ''Old Christmas'' and ''Bracebridge Hall''. ''Old Christmas'' is a nostalgic and heartwarming tale set in the English countryside, where Irving describes the customs and traditions of the holiday season. He writes about the joyous celebrations, the carol singing, the feasting, and the games that were played during this festive time of year. The story is a tribute to the old-fashioned Christmas traditions that were slowly disappearing in Irving’s time.''Bracebridge Hall'' is a series of sketches that take place in an English country house. The stories are centered around the eccentric characters who live in the house and the various adventures they have. The sketches are humorous and satirical, and they provide a glimpse into the social customs and lifestyles of the English upper class during the early 19th century.Overall, Old Christmas And Bracebridge Hall: From The Sketchbook Of Washington Irving is a charming and delightful collection of stories that captures the spirit of the holiday season and the essence of English country life. It is a must-read for anyone who loves classic literature and wants to experience the magic of Christmas as it was celebrated in the past.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
