As a kid my mom read that to me several times!! Loved it! I was in Cracker Barrel last October. The works of Washington Irving was their. I grabed it! Yes read it all again! I still love it. And Edger Allen Poe also.
Perfect voice for this story. Add some spooky Hallowe'en ambience in the background, turn the lights out, and immerse yourself completely. Ahhhh, Happy Hallowe'en, everyone. October 2022. 👻
I never read or heard the "actual" Legend of Sleepy Hollow, only what was on TV. I can't believe I ran across this on youtube for some reason, or actually took the time to listen. However, I'm glad I did. What a descriptive way with words! I could imagine seeing all of it-
I know, right? The language is really overcomplicated! I will bet 99 percent of Americans would be confused. Even they would translate it into "real English" while reading it!
I have actually play Sleepy Hollow as a theater once! Me and my theater group made our own version of the story! And I played Ichabod Crane! And the guy who played his/mine rival Brom Bones was a 10 years old young boy! I was 25 years old! It was really fun!
Best reading available. Great work! I previously heard a terrible reading with a woman or computer pronouncing Ichabod as "Ee-chee-bon," I shut that one off quickly.
Needed to read this for class for a test today. Also i may chose this for the book vs movie analysis since there's a lot to tell. Thank you for uploading this, it really helped and was read really well.
This is the first time I have heard the book. So, there was no headless horsemen. It was his rival who frightened him off. Because why else would they have found a pumpkin?
That was a theory of Ichabod Crane's fate. I've also heard it said Ichabod used his position to try to insinuate himself into Katrina's family and life. However it was, this is why it was a legend.

Ichabod is not the protagonist. He is a rude dandy, an abuser of children and of animals, and a self-serving interloper who has nothing to offer Katrina. She chose rightly to take the hand of Brom. Think about it: Which suitor would maintain the family farm and fortune? Ichabod wants to eat his fill and liquidate it all, just to drag her off to an uncertain future in Kentucky. Washington Irving was the Mark Twain of his generation. This is a droll tale, told well in the understated way of the time in which it was written. It is a comedy wrapped up in the pretense of a common spooky tale. 😂
jesus christ this story is 21 pages and it's literally not until page 18 that we actually get to the headless horseman. even then the encounter is only TWO pages long. why the hell did this guy spend so much time describing the animals at the barn and the food at the gathering? why describe the school? who fucking cares?
If you were expecting the story to have the Headless Horseman as the main character and thought that there would be zero characterization and more time dedicated to the horseman just cutting heads off of nameless, black-slate characters in violent detail , then I'm sorry that your teacher made you read this and that classic literature doesn't match the style of cheesy B-movies.
Bug Honey i’ve liked a lot of the stuff we’ve read so i’m not really averse to classic literature. it’s just that nothing seemed to happen in this story, it was slow, boring, and by the end of it i still didn’t understand why the author wasted so much time focusing on things that didn’t matter. i wasn’t expecting the horseman to be slashing people left and right haha, it’s just that he was the only interesting part of the story and much better than listening to the main character talk about mundane shit.
@@pey5571 I can understand. Writers at the time were paid by the word. They either use this to extend the plot and detail the action or to add characterization and atmosphere. Blade Runner was rich in atmosphere and I found it incredibly boring. Personally I like how the story is really a battle of different mind sets. Ichabod being an intellectual who wants to try to marry his way into higher class and Brom being a dude of the old ways who doesn't like some egghead strutting his stuff about in a where he doesn't belong. This makes his encounter with the 'horseman' make sense. It's Brom trying to scare Ichabod away from town. Sure, the encounter is only two pages long, but it has a lot story that builds up to the finale where it all comes together to conclude the story.
@@steeter6 1. I had to read it for school 2. How does that even make sense? How do you know that you don't like something without reading it? lmao. The comment section is for talking about the book so I talked about the book, that's completely fair.
@@pey5571 well actually I have read and also you are right It is fair and im sure that books were written different back then and people had different visions and I like the story anyway
Why so surprised? Did anyone recommend this story (it's not a novel) and claim it was exciting and scary and a real page turner? LOL It's classic American literature, not exciting stuff. And it's a character study, not a horror show. But people think it's a really gripping tale, thanks to its movie and TV and animated adaptations over the years. Irving's tale is admittedly rather dry at times but it's a Halloween mainstay, and it builds up a strong sense of foreboding as it goes along. Instead of this story, I'd suggest you try R.L Stine's books. Or, if you're actually older than 12, some of the older Stephen King novels from the 1980's; they won't be such a bore for you ... _maybe_ ...
YES!! no more monotonous librovox recordings! this old guy sounds great

Here on halloween itself, bröther!
You couldn't ask for a more toothsome atmosphere for a spooky tale than the one Irving establishes here. Splendid. Thank you.
It is a classic, I will bet- but it is written in this overly complicated and flowery style. You have to translate it to actual English in your mind!
@@agathaellajadwiszczok9840It wasn't complicated. It gave nuance a details, which made it enjoyable and easy to imagine being there.

im cheating ccause im using this for school im supposed to read it
yeah i hate this
Now I'm genuinely wondering what the black people at the party were thinking of Ichabod....
Jesus, this novel is very boring. What is wrong with this writer? He wasted the Headless horseman to describe the main character.
More time being dedicated to the main character?! Such madness!
Go write something yourself and we'll see if you can articulate something even half as good.
