The Legend of Sleepy Hollow [Classic Tales Edition]

De: Washington Irving

Narrado por: B. J. Harrison

Here is the complete and unabridged tale of Ichabod Crane and his ill-fated visit to Sleepy Hollow. Half of the charm of the tale is Irving's beautiful prose, as he describes the glorious New England countryside. But of course there are chills galore when the Headless Horseman appears.

Classic with a classic reading

Timeless classic that, once I got beyond the obvious racist overtones of some of its characters portrayals, spirited me back to a time long ago to spook me get again. Kudos to the narrator.

Great story

Beautiful writing and excellent narrator. Irving is a true master of writing tales only rivaled by Poe and Hawthorne.

Always been one of my favorite tales

Ever since I was little and watched the Disney version I've always had a special place for the tale. It ranks up with Poe and Lovecraft to me. The narrator was what made this story come to life to me as I listen and imagined and I would highly recommend this tale,it truly worth the time

I see why I didn't read in high-school

Overall it was well read. the story itself just didn't do it for me. Glad I didn't read it in high school. I know its a classic but it just bored me

A Pleasant Listen

I had read this in my American Literature class and I blame the professor for making this short tale terribly boring. Having this be a favorite story of mine, I wanted to find an engaging audiobook version and I'm glad to stay I found it. the story is lyrical and flows so nicely with its strong descriptions. you really get a terrific image of what Sleepy Hollow looks like and the famous Icabod Crane. definitely worth having in your audiobook library.

Great narrator

Good job! Took me right into the story which I hadn’t read for years.

15 words is annoying. Get rid of that requirement.

it was good.

it was good to finally have the unabridged version which was good. i had never heard the full ending before and it was better than i expected.

Deliciously creepy

It’s a rainy, gray Halloween afternoon, and I listened to Sleepy Hollow while carving jack-o-lanterns. Wonderful! The reader is pitch perfect with a voice made for the story.

Good read for Halloween

It's a short, delightful story, one you could read your ten year old to scare him or her around Halloween. Nothing really remarkable. Reading the unabridged just gives you a more sensory and descriptive rendition of the campfire ghost story everyone has heard. Everyone knows about the sad fate of Ichabod Crane and the devilish headless horseman of Sleepy Hollow. But was it Brom Bones?

Great listen

Tjis is a great book to listen to especially around fall & Halloween time when the crisp air is nipping at your nose & the leaves are falling.
