'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow' and the mysterious adventure of 'Rip Van Winkle' are just two famous tales included in this new collection of Washington Irving's quirky, charming and sometimes unnerving tales

There is a sequestered glen off the east coast of the Hudson, New York state, which has long continued under the sway of some witching power; the neighbourhood abounds with tales, haunted spots and twilight superstitions. But as hapless schoolmaster Ichabod Crane will discover, the wildest of all stories in this region of shadows relate to one particularly dreadful spectre - the Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow.

Washington Irving's comic horror story is the best known of this collection of stories, observations and sketches written on his travels around Britain and America in the eighteenth century. Also includes 'Rip Van Winkle' and 'Little Britain'.

Já faz um tempo que eu queria ler esse livro. Além de amar os filmes baseados nele, eu moro perto do lugar onde a lenda e história foi inspirada.
Eu já visitei algumas vezes a escola e a casa onde os eventos aconteceram. Tudo é muito lindo e spooky ao mesmo tempo exatamente como a história do livro.
Amei o livro.
