I first knew about “The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow” as a PC game that I loved and I'm still repeating lol
Anyways, then I saw the movie, that's when I knew about the book.
The book is a classical, it's simple and exactly what you'd expect if you're already familiar with the movie :).
From the listless repose of the place, and the peculiar character of its inhabitants, who are descendants from the original Dutch settlers, this sequestered glen has long been known by name of Sleepy Hollow ... A drowsy, dreamy influence seems to hang over the land, and to pervade the very atmosphere.— Washington Irving, “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
An exciting and atmospheric rendition of Irving's classic story. A young, opinionated and somewhat awkward tutor who comes to Tarry Town, New York, a Dutch settlement steeped in horror stories populated with ghosts and all kinds of restless spirits. But it is the hauntingly exciting figure of the Headless Horseman that takes the cake, wandering in the moonlit forests close to the old Church. Ichabod Crane has to fight a cocky suitor to win the hand of a landlord's daughter and this is the least of his troubles.
Through dark illustrations that scream ‘'American Gothic'' and spirited text, this version is a great companion to an autumn night as the countdown to this year's Halloween has started.
