    Summary:
    The quiet Dutch community of Sleepy Hollow lay in the Adirondack mountains on the western shore of the mighty Hudson River in America's colonial period. The solitude of the woods was breathtaking, and not even a schoolmaster was immune from the eerie miasma which everyone knew permeated the dense forest. Written in 1820, Washington Irving's The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow has become a classic of American literature, and has been retold in many different ways. Here is the original, from Irving's own hand.

    Absolutely scrumptious reading. I could practically taste the foods and see the horrible apparition! Very well done. A treat 💕

    Best thing ever! I had to read a few pages of Sleepy Hollow for my College Literature class, I just listened to the whole thing because my teacher is so monotone that I never get anything out of the stories that she reads!

    Best narration by far. Not overdone. Tone is properly captured. I listen to this throughout the year, and it always makes me miss Autumn. Would love to know more about Chip from Tampa!

    I have actually play Sleepy Hollow as a theater once! Me and my theater group made our own version of the story! And I played Ichabod Crane! And the guy who played his/mine rival Brom Bones was a 10 years old little boy! I was 25 years old! It was really fun!

    Very good story. This book isnt read fast, it's read in the storytelling format. You have both fast and slow in excited and fearful places. And a wistful pace in general overview. He reads it very well.

    I love very very much this version by Chip. It is much better than the other two versions. I like his slower, gravelly voice. It is very natural and tuned in to this old classic story.

    I prefer listening long stories than reading them. Glad this exists

    Can't beat the classics. Top grade American folk tales. Good job on the narration, the video is great. Easy for one to just close their eyes and imagine it. keep it up
