Originally part of The Sketch Books of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent., which also included Irving’s most famous stories, Rip Van Winkle and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Old Christmas depicts Irving’s Christmas Eve trip by stagecoach to Yorkshire and the delightful holiday games and rituals he shared with his hosts at their home, Bracebridge Hall. Famed illustrator Randolph Caldecott’s sketches provide a perfect complement to Irving’s descriptions of holiday cheer.
