The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Other Tales

This collection of stories from Washington Irving, one of the best-known authors of the eighteenth century, spins fantastic, timeless tales and offers insights into the early years of the United States.

The Headless Horseman faces off with Ichabod Crane in "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," a ghost story of enduring popularity that takes place at the time of the American Revolution. "Rip Van Winkle," another traditional favorite from the same historic period, tells the tale of man who fell asleep for twenty years and found his small town in the Catskill Mountains much changed by the time he awakened. Both are included--along with many other tales--in this classic collection by Washington Irving.
