The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

5 out of 5 stars. Seriously, this is a classic and though many have tried, there is nothing quite as creepy as the original. The language is beautiful and descriptive. Though it is antiquated, it is still accessible and I feel like it gives a good insight into a day in the life of an itinerant country school teacher. And as ghost stories go, don't listen to it and walk in the dark or read it and walk alone in the dark! This was the November selection for our own Books & Brunch book club. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/93261.The_Legend_of_Sleepy_Hollow?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=eG4R6q389F&rank=1
