Exploring the life and mind of one of America's great writers, “Washington Irving” is highly recommend for those with an interest in American literary history. Charles Dudley Warner (September 12, 1829 – October 20, 1900) was an American novelist and essayist. He was a close friend of Mark Twain, and co-authored “The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today” with him. Other notable works by this author include: “Baddeck, And That Sort of Thing” (1874), “In the Levant” (1876), and “On Horseback, in the Southern States” (1888). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive.
