The Legend of Sleepy Hollow: The Original 1820 Edition

Washington Irvings 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 historys 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 Irvings collection of short stories entitled The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon Gent.
