Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Other Tales
Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Other Tales | Washington Irving
14 posts | 9 read | 5 to read
The Headless Horseman faces off with Ichabod Crane in "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," a ghost story of enduring popularity that takes place at the time of the American Revolution. "Rip Van Winkle," another traditional favorite from the same historic period, tells the tale of man who fell asleep for 20 years and found his small town in the Catskill Mountains much changed by the time he awakened. Both are included along with many other tales in this classic collection by Washington Irving."

#scarathlon #TeamStoker I picked this up yesterday at Wallyworld. Why do the have to put the sticker on the front. 🤬

BeansPage One of my biggest pet peeves! 😩 🧟‍♀️ 5y
DGRachel I didn't know there was a word cloud edition of this! I must find one! 😱 5y
Chili @DGRachel I got it at Walmart. That‘s also we‘re I got the Dracula one. 5y

DGRachel I‘ve seen Dracula at my local indie, but I haven‘t been able to bring myself to buy that yucky gray cover. 😆 5y
Chili @DGRachel I bought it because my daughter wanted a copy of Dracula. I think it‘s hideous but it was the only one in town. I wish we had an indie in town. I have to order all my books or drive 75 miles to B&N. 5y
DGRachel Sometimes you just have to go with the ugly copy! ❤️ I do not miss the days when I didn‘t have a dedicated bookstore near me. I feel your pain. 5y
Chili @DGRachel The one plus is we have an awesome library system. I can get books from anywhere in the state, including the colleges and universities. 😁🥰 5y
DGRachel That‘s awesome! 5y

“Some of the Communipaw oystermen declared that they had more than once seen him disappear, canoe and all, as if they plunged beneath the waves, and after a while come up again, in quite a different part of the bay...”

“Besides, there is no encouragement for ghosts in most of our villages, for they have scarcely had time to finish their first nap and turn themselves in their graves, before their surviving friends have travelled away from the neighborhood; so that when they turn out at night to walk their rounds, they have no acquaintance left to call upon.”

Ichabod sees the Headless Horseman on his night ride. Found this book on my shelf, the husband must have gotten it previously, perfect read for the season.

#FallIntoBooks #day23 #ShadesOfAutumn These book spines are the colours of autumn leaves, the yellows, reds, browns & oranges that are the showpiece of the forest in fall. My favourite part of autumn is driving up to the Blue Mountains to see the turn of the season which is more memorable up there with its cooler climate. The tree photos are from when the hubby and I went to Everglades Garden in Leura a few years ago in Autumn. So beautiful!🍂

#AprilBookShowers #day22 #EarthToneCovers There's not that many books out there with brown covers I must say, all the books in my library and these were the only ones I could find, well that I could actually reach too, still can't stretch. I'm not a big fan of brown, my house was painted a horrible brown when I moved in, I swore I'd never paint or wear another brown thing ever again. These books aren't that bad but, more coffee tones than brown.

minkyb You never know what you will learn about people through these book challenges! 😍 8y
RealLifeReading Ooh one of those lovely Pratchett covers! 8y

#readjanuary #day22 #bookwithinabook I wasn't sure how to interpret this, so I went with a story that's usually a self contained book that's in a collection of the authors tales. I have no idea if this is what was meant, but hey. I'm going with that.😌

#readjanuary #day19 #endpapers This is my WordCloud edition of Washington Irvings The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow & Other Stories. My youngest son bought me this for Mothers Day last year and this is what kickstarted me to buy the entire set. The actual text is the plain original version, but the covers& endpapers of all of them are so gorgeous it's worth the expense of buying doubles of some. I particularly love these endpapers, very Halloweeny.🎃

MMenefee Fantastic! 8y
DebinHawaii Very cool! 👍 8y
