Note:
From SFE3, biographical entry on Irving (2):
1. "Irving's most famous early work, more elegantly crafted but in the same vein as Salmagundi, was the History of New York from the Beginning of the World to the End of the Dutch Dynasty ... by Dietrich Knickerbocker (1809 2vols); this mock history is one of the earliest Fantasies of History, and includes a formative description of Santa Claus as the patron saint of New York [for Fantasy of History and Santa Claus see The Encyclopedia of Fantasy under links below]."
(verbatim; original ellipsis and brackets)
--prose biography by Ashley, Clute, and Langford
2. "Irving's fiction, none of it book-length, was assembled under frame rubrics and under varying names; even the History of New York is episodic. After his death, numerous collections were published, but without adhering to his frames."
