Legend of Sleepy Hollow
Legend of Sleepy Hollow | Washington Irving
Ichabod Crane is the teacher in a little village called Sleepy Hollow. Everyone in Sleepy Hollow believes in ghosts and ghouls and loves to tell spooky stories, their favourite being the legend of the headless horseman. However, things become a little too real for Ichabod when that very ghost appears one night and chases him. Why is the horseman after Ichabod and will he escape? Carefully retold in clear contemporary language, and presented with stunning illustrations, these favourite horror classics will capture the hearts and imagination of young readers.

I knew of this story but had never read it before. It was fun to listen to while walking through my local park. I also watched the 1999 movie on Amazon and it was okay. It was the same length as the audio. #Scarathlon #TeamSlaughter #PromptMaze F5 #Spookoween2022 #31by31 #BodyCountBingo #LittenListen #AutumnAToZ @Clwojick @TheAromaofBooks @TheSpineView @Catsandbooks @PuddleJumper @aperfectmjk @Texreader

Thanks to Disney animated shorts, Sleep Hollow is one of my favorite stories. This abridged text has illustrations with an aged feel that add to the mildly creepy tale. They did a good job of keeping the heart (or head?) of the story and the illustrations, while not my favorite style, are perfect for it. This version may not make my annual reread list, but it‘s definitely worth picking up at least once.

This arrived today and I‘m so excited. I thought I could wait until next October, but I may have to read it now. Gris Grimly‘s illustrations are delightful. 😍

I am not good at aesthetics boards. But here is my attempt for #hauntedhallowsswap. I‘m addicted to Funko Pop Towns and make a Halloween village out of them. I think this year is susposed to be the Haunted Mansion but I haven‘t seen it yet. I also love psychological horror movies and books. Not into blood and gore. But love a good haunted house.

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego I didn't know funko pop towns/houses were a thing. That's cool! 4y
LibrarianRyan @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego yes they started last winter. There are these 3 and then a Christmas town I have 2 or 3 of. I hope to add It, haunted mansion this year. But it will depend on budget. We are awaiting a roof repair. 4y

I imagined the best time to read Sleepy Hollow to be a cold, foggy, night with a chill in the air. The kind of night where I could curl up next to the fireplace with a warm beverage.

Alas, it still feels like summer here (the hottest September in almost 100 years, apparently!). So I‘m diving in anyway, even though the AC is on and I‘m still in shorts. #screamathon #neverendingsummer

DGRachel What a lovely cover! 5y
alisiakae @DGRachel It came in an #Owlcrate box last year! Can you believe it‘s going to be back up to 90 at the end of the week? 😳 I love summer, but I‘m kinda over it! 5y

DGRachel @4thhouseontheleft My A/C died July 13th and I can‘t afford to replace it. I‘ve been basically living in my bedroom, as it‘s the only room in my house with a portable a/c unit and therefore the only space that is cooler than 85*. I‘m so over summer. It‘s October. I am appalled that we could hit 90*+ later this week. I moved away from Florida specifically to avoid the oppressive heat. I WANT A PROPER AUTUMN!!!! 😭😭😭 5y

This was a super fun listen this afternoon! 🎃🎃🎃

At 1 hour 15 minutes, it was fairly easy to sneak this short story into my day. I personally prefer this one in audio more than print. My favorite part of the story is the last fifteen minutes or so. This version is ✔️✔️✔️ because this narrator is great 😉

I also like the Sleepy Hollow movie with Johnny Depp, differences and all. Have you guys seen it?

Leniverse Yes! Christopher Walken as the horseman. 7y

Considering my first exposure to this story was the Disney cartoon, it never struck me as a scary story, per se. Although the headless horseman did kind of creep me out. But once I finally read it, it's definitely a #notscaryread. #AllHallowsRead

If you haven't read the original story, do yourself a favor and give it a go. Besides being a quick read (only 5 issues in Serial Reader) and filled with the wonderful atmosphere of colonial New England in autumn, it also contains brief hints at many other ghostly tales.

For example, it was the ghastly shrieking woman in white of Raven Rock that waited outside my childhood bedroom window, not the Headless Horseman. Thanks Washington! 🎃
