Washington Irving was an American author, essayist, biographer, short-stories writer best known for his stories "Rip Van Winkle”(1819) and "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" (1820). “The Adventure of the Little Antiquary” is the story narrated by the author about his friend, the doctor, who was a thorough antiquary: a little, rusty, musty old fellow, always groping among ruins.The true welth for doctor was not the money or benefits, but certain valuables, for example, family reliques or ancient treatise.
