The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

By: Washington Irving

Narrated by: Joseph Thompson

Washington Irving's classic, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow", has been making spines tingle since 1820! Irving tapped into a timeless fear: the prospect of a late-night journey shrouded in fog turning suddenly fatal. Our imaginations conjure every conceivable danger, but in one of history's most famous encounters, one Ichabod Crane comes - dare we say it, face-to-face? - with the "specter known at all the country firesides", the Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow. A classic, distinctively American tale that evokes additional terror as Halloween comes and goes each year, this is the original 1820 version, as originally found in Irving's collection of short stories entitled The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent.
