As this is a location-based series of character sketches, there are a number of individual plots. The tales centre on the occupants of an English manor (based on Aston Hall, near Birmingham, England, which was occupied by members of the Bracebridge family and which Irving visited).

As this is a series of character sketches, the most effective way currently to describe this book is to list the contents.

All are hardcover editions except the 1823 and 1991 (binding unknown).
