The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

Written by Washington Irving

Narrated by Robert Rance

Ghosts and goblins abound in Sleepy Hollow. The haunting tales of the Headless Horseman entranced Ichabod Crane. During the day, he found the stories exciting. But at night he was afraid. His fear reached new heights the night he was chased by the mysterious ghost!

The terrifying ride is brought to life in this striking graphic novel adaptation of Washington Irving's short story.

A creator biography and glossary help reluctant readers take the first step on the road to classic literature.

This was great :) Of course I knew of the story and have probably seen short American cartoons based upon it (the description of Ichabod Crane certainly lends itself to such) but I was really pleasantly surprised. This audiobook is more like a radio drama complete with owls hooting, music, horses neighing, ladies laughing, and about 25 minutes well spent. Must have been very entertaining to early/ Americans who heard or read it.
