Irving, Washington

The Pride of the Village, and Other Tales from "the Sketch Book"

Philadelphia: J.P. Lippincott Company, 1886. Hardcover. First edition. Illustrated with "original designs by eminent artists" although they are not named. The title story is about a young woman who slowly fades away after her lover abandons her. Modern critics often find it to be melodramatic; however, it was popular in its day.
