The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

De: Washington Irving

Narrado por: Kevin Theis

This is an audio-enhanced version of Washington Irving's classic tale of horror and suspense, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" - complete with sound effects and a musical soundtrack. It relates the story of Ichabod Crane, the lanky Tarrytown schoolmaster who is vying for the hand of the local beauty Katrina Van Tassel, along with local strongman and bully Brom Bones. After attending a party at the Van Tassels' one fall night, Crane learns of the legend of the mysterious and spectral Headless Horseman, who rides by night and terrorizes those who dare to travel Tarrytown by night. Traveling home after the party that night, the superstitious (and romantically crestfallen) Crane spies a fellow rider in the woods. A rider...without a head!

An American Halloween tradition since its publication in 1820, Irving's tale is a classic of the genre and a thrilling holiday yarn.

A classic for Halloween

I remember hearing bits and pieces of the story, but this book is original tale. The narrator was great.

love it alot

I love reading the classics and Legend of Sleepy Hollow is one of my favorites to read. now I will be able to listen to one of my favorites over and over. Kevin Theis does a really great job narrating Sleepy Hollow I really enjoyed listening to it while at work when things got slow.

Great listen for a commute!

This hour and a half long classic story is great for a commute. The narrator did a fabulous job (seriously A+!) and the background effects -which I usually dislike in audiobooks- made this story come alive. They were great. I rated the story as three stars, because it is not particularly thrilling or scary, but it is nevertheless responsible for the popularization of iconic characters such as the headless horseman.

Entertaining!

I loved the cinematic narration. A great short story. Nicely written. This was given to me as a promocode. I enjoyed the listen.

Great story!

This book was very good. The narrator has done a great job telling the story.
