The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Rip Van Winkle
Content advisory. This book reflects the language and terms of the era in which it was written, which some listeners may find offensive.
Two of America's most beloved tales from Washington Irving's Sketch Book, read together in one complete audiobook. In The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, the lanky, superstitious schoolmaster Ichabod Crane courts the lovely heiress Katrina Van Tassel, crosses the swaggering Brom Bones, and rides home alone one autumn night into the path of the Headless Horseman. In Rip Van Winkle, a good-natured, henpecked villager wanders into the Catskill Mountains, shares a flagon with a strange company of old Dutchmen playing ninepins, and wakes twenty years later to a world transformed by revolution. Washington Irving's timeless 1819–1820 classics of the Hudson Valley, full of humor, folklore and gentle eeriness.
