Rebecca, Washington, Susan & Brian

I just want to say how much I enjoyed the program on Rebecca Gratz and Washington Irving last Thursday, March 3rd. Our own Susan Sklaroff and Brian Jay Jones, the author of Washington Irving: An American Original, discussed the well known legend (at least around the RML) that Rebecca Gratz was the inspiration for Sir Walter Scott's Rebecca in his masterpiece, Ivanhoe. The speakers were both brimming with information and the relaxed style of thepresentation made for a very enjoyable evening.

I just finished reading Mr. Jones' book, which is available in our gift shop, and recommend it highly especially in light of our upcoming outing to Sunnyside, Irving's home. Now, if Susan would only write hers! :) Don't forget to check out her blog on Rebecca.
