F. S. Coburn
A truly beautiful book on the life and work of artist Frederick Simpson Coburn. Evelyn Coburn complements the artist's work with personal letters, documents, family anecdotes and reminiscences. This is a loving portrait of a talented Canadian artist now remembered primarily as a painter of winter scenes, but whose work was wide-ranging and included remarkable nude studies and literary illustrations.

Each entry provides the artist's name, date and place of birth and death (or years the artist flourished, if birth and death dates are not available), the nationality (if not Canadian), type of artist (major medium media used), and sources in which biographical information may be found. Several hundred cross-references link the various names used by some artists during the course of their careers.
The LEGEND of SLEEPY HOLLOW By: Washington Irving Annotated Novel (Classic Edition)
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" is a gothic story by American author Washington Irving, contained in his collection of 34 essays and short stories titled The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent. Written while Irving was living abroad in Birmingham, England, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" was first published in 1820. Along with Irving's companion piece "Rip Van Winkle", "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" is among the earliest examples of American fiction with enduring popularity, especially during Halloween because of a character known as the Headless Horseman believed to be a Hessian soldier who was decapitated by a cannonball in battle. In 1949, the second film adaptation was produced by Walt Disney as one of two segments in the package film The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad.
