An excellent story, with tons of fun twists and apt descriptions. The story is truly captivating, allowing the reader to visit the picturesque yet eerie landscape of Sleepy Hallow. With the brilliant overuse of adjectives and Irving's seamlessly interwoven wit, "The Legend of Sleepy Hallow" has become a pinnacle of American fiction. ( )

Listened to audiobook performance of this classic spooky tale while driving through the Hudson Valley. The Legend of Sleepy Hollow has always been a favorite of mine, partly due to growing up within an hours drive of Tarrytown and visiting the sites of the story several times as a child. Revisiting it now, even though I know it's 200 years old, it struck me as old-fashioned, especially on gender and race issues. But it's also a funny satire of country folk in the Hudson Valley with Irving's vivid descriptions of people and places. And the last segment where Ichabod Crane is pursued by the Headless Horseman - or is it Brom Bones? - is truly spooky. ( )

Best enjoyed by candlelight, with a mug of cocoa and a swaddling of blankets, on an October night. ( )

Narrated by Tom Mison.

This Audible freebie was a nice way to revisit this novella but I had some difficulty in concentrating on Mison's narration. I don't know whether it was the text, my mood, or his narration... ( )

I never had the occasion to read this story but picked it up on Audible a couple months ago. I liked it and am happy that I can now say that I've read (listened) to it. ( )
