How would you feel to live in a small town that has a legend of a headless man that rides a horse and comes out at night and haunts your town. The legend of the sleepy hollow by Washington Irving is an old book that has been continued on by many people. there has been many movies about it and many other books, but out of all the books I think the original is the best. Because it has so much more detail than all of the others.

This book takes place in Connecticut in a small town called Sleepy Hollow and it was cursed by a man of witch craft they call him the headless horseman or the galloping hessian of the hollow. Many people in sleepy hollow study witch craft the other villagers just don’t know it and that is how the headless horseman is able to haunt the village.

Washington Irving was one of the greatest and first successful authors which is why I think it is such a great story. It is a very old classic with action, romance, chaos and more and this is the first time I read the book ive seen all of the movies but I have never read the book until now and I think that the book is best because it has thee most detail.

This is a very good story it is kind of complicated to understand at some parts but you catch on. I would read this story again and again. For its literature I think it is irony. Because the school teacher loses his sanity when he moves from Connecticut to sleepy hollow and sees the headless horseman.
