Knickerbocker's History of New York, Complete

There are pioneers for everything, including mocking the world. "A Knickerbocker's History of New York" is a reissue of Washington Irving's classic work of literature that earned him quite the place in early American Literature.

Perhaps Trisdam Shandy or parts of Mark Twain are as funny on a sustained basis, but this book is up there. Each paragraph is a howl or chuckle.
