The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is a horror story by American author Washington Irving. Written while Irving was living abroad in Birmingham, England, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow was first published in 1820.

Classic text, well told

This is the classic Washington Irving story that's perfect for Halloween season. Listening to Ichabod Crane's story is a great way to kick off the holiday.

The narrator is well spoken and really places you in the story. It's short, but well-told and engaging. Recommended.

A classic for a reason

Certain Books last because they are written well and tell a story that does not age.

That is certainly true here....it is a story that is just as fresh as when it was written.


The Narrator delivers a good performance to enhance the enjoyment of the the Book.

Classic creepy tale!

Wonderful spooky story for fall season or ghost story lovers in general. I grew up on the classic cartoon and had never read the story! Expertly narrated with a deep period voice that added to the atmosphere. Enjoyable all around! I received a free review copy of this book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Favorite classic 🎃

A great October listen with a magnificently scenic description. I'm a fan of the movie, but wasn't sure I would like the book as much. I was wrong! This book is awesome! And Roberto's creepy sounding portrayal of characters is perfect. I was given a free copy of this book at my request and have voluntarily decided to leave this review.

A Great Classic!

This is one of my favorite classic stories out there. I prove this by having three copies of this book by three different narrators. I will have say that I enjoyed Roberto Scarlato's reading to the other two. His voice is a nice low voice that to me really fits this story more than the others. I would suggest you check out the various narrators before you choose which version to get. I am not disappointed with any of the copies I have but I found I prefer Mr. Scarlato's voice best so far. Of course the story needs no explaining, it's Sleepy Hollow!! A great classic and I will suggest this version to my friends over the other two I own.
