Tales of a Traveller by Washington Irving on Free Audio Book Download

Writing under the pseudonym, Geoffrey Crayon, Washington Irving chronicled his travels through Europe in the early 1820вЂ™s. He wrote of people he met, places he saw and stories he was told. In fact, much of the work is recounting tales told to him by those with exotic adventures that were waiting to be shared. вЂњTales of a TravelerвЂќ is broken up into four separate parts or вЂњBooks,вЂќ as Irving called them. The final book is almost a post-script to вЂњKnickerbockerвЂ™s History of New YorkвЂќ as he tells stories and describes Manhattan Island and nearby lands as they were almost two hundred years ago. This rough land, still mostly wilderness, had the fingerprints of the early Dutch colonists evident throughout.
