Book Review: Legend of Sleepy Hollow
This little novella was much more fun than I remembered it being. Irving’s text is a brilliant example of that period’s style; while remaining humorous and a bit subversive.
I hadn’t remembered the ending correctly at all, probably because of the various cartoons throughout the years which have lost the true meaning of the story.
This is a fabulous Halloween read, and I recommend that everyone spend a few minutes with the spooky denizens of Old America.
