They were unaware that Washington Irving had invented the man entirely and placed the ads himself. Knickerbocker's purported manuscript, \u003ci\u003eA History of New York\u003c\/i\u003e, was Irving's own. Told from Knickerbocker's point of view, \u003ci\u003eA History of New York\u003c\/i\u003e is a chronicle of New York's fifty years under Dutch rule in the 1600s that plays fast and loose with the facts, to uproarious effect. The book propelled Irving to the heights of literary stardom. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
