Sommario/riassunto |
|
Washington Irving created the fictional narrator Geoffrey Crayon, and a number of Irving's most popular works are written in the voice of this high-strung, eccentric, but ultimately well-meaning fellow. In this essay collection, Crayon hits the road for a travel tour and reports back with his observations. |
