His collected works fill forty volumes that encompass essays, history, travel writings, and multi-volume biographies of Columbus and Washington. But it is Irving's mastery of suspense, characterization, tempo, and irony that transforms his fiction into virtuoso performances..." [Pub. Info] This biography of Irving was written by his nephew. The volumes are in Good to Very Good condition. [Please check for shipping cost on multi-volume sets and larger format books.]
