This is a wonderful video. I love the stories of Washington, and have a deep appreciation of Scott and his work in folklore. Abbotsford is on my bucket list of places I want to see in my lifetime. Thanks again for your excellent content.
One more reason to love Sir Walter Scott - so sweet of him to welcome Washington Irving in such a friendly and hospitable manner 🥰 Thank you for the great video and the amazing views you shared ♥️
I absolutely love English folklore because it is just like here in Maryland alot of Salisbury Maryland s history goes back to colonial times with the settlement of our state.Our national anthem was written by Francis Scott key 2hours away in Baltimore.Locally here a Anglican priest by the name of John Hewitt started the first Church of England here in our area in 1732 and the church still stands.Johns father was the chaplain to Charles the second exiled in France and later executed in the Tower of London.A strong connection between us and Great Britain especially in the colony states.
absolutely wonderful beautiful and amazing and majestyley done your a really good story tell and i love every one of your stories and love folklore and mythology this was a beautiful story and instresing tale this channel is a gem glad i found it keep up the good work i look forwards to all the stories you do next and it was really informal
Thanks for the another great and informative video. Irving had a sister who had married and lived in Birmingham in what is now the Jewellry Quarter. He stayed there a lot while in England and wrote Rip Van Winkle, Sleepy Hollow and Bracebridge Hall (based on nearby Aston Hall) while living in Birmingham. Of course that part of town back then was mostly rural.
I really enjoyed your sharing of Walter Scott and Washington Irving’s friendship and mutual admiration. And your sharing your own connection to them as you sipped your tea where they may very well have sat themselves was delightful. I have loved the writings of Washington Irving since I was nine years old and my parents gave me a children’s version of “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow”. Author Brian Jay Jones wrote an excellent biography of Irving entitled “Washington Irving:An American Original” if you’re interested. Thank you for your thoughtful and enjoyable visit with these two great writers.👍🏾
Thank you for this look into the past of a couple of our favorite authors. I have a collection of Sir Scott's books, and you have inspired me to get Rob Roy out and read it, so thank you.
I’m a huge fan of both Irving & Scott’s works & I never would’ve known they had met, let alone become such fast & good friends. So thank you again for all the effort you put into these videos. Also, I think feeling as if Sir Walter Scott is there in spirit at least, telling the story of the water bull makes perfect sense. It’s very possible the existence of those creatures, or belief in them, however you choose to view it, would’ve been lost to history had it not been for his telling of it to Irving. I’d not heard of them before so the fact I have now, is by your own account, a direct result of that fact. So he is there w you, in the literal physical sense, maybe not but but he is there.
Another gem, sir. Lovely scenery!
Cheers mate :-)
Absolutely wonderful and beautifully done. You are a good story teller and I’m sure Scott as well as Irving would agree.
Such high praise!
This is a wonderful video. I love the stories of Washington, and have a deep appreciation of Scott and his work in folklore. Abbotsford is on my bucket list of places I want to see in my lifetime. Thanks again for your excellent content.
