About the Authors

  • Washington Irving (New York, 1783-1859) was one of the first American writers to achieve international fame. A master of the short story, he is famous for creating part of his country's mythical folklore with stories like Rip Van Winkle and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. His work is characterized by its wit, humor, and elegant prose.

  • Noemí Villamuza (Palencia, 1971) is one of the most sensitive illustrators in Spain. Her style, often focused on the use of graphite, is characterized by her enormous expressiveness and her ability to capture the emotion of characters. Her work enriches this classic, adding a new layer of melancholy and beauty.
