The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington IrvingMy rating: 0 of 5 stars
Ever been to Sleepy Hollow, NY?
I just read this classic novella tonight. (Or was it a short story?)
I had to look on Google Maps to find out if Sleepy Hollow is a real place. It is. Right there on the map I found Tarrytown (the book said Tarry Town) with Sleepy Hollow right next to it. Also the Tappan Zee was there (the river) and I even saw photos of the old Dutch Reformed Church mentioned in the story. I love Google Maps.
Anyhow, great story. I wish I'd read it years ago, but apparently tonight was my night to find out what really happened to Ichabod Crane. I loved the intense descriptions and the vocabulary of the author. I read this on Kindle so it was easy to look up words I didn't know.
