Set near the Dutch settlement of Tarry Town in the secluded and mysterious glen of Sleepy Hollow, Icabod Crane competes with Brom Bones for the attention of the beautiful Katrina. As Icabod heads home, he is hunted by the Headless Horseman. This creature may be the ghost of a Hessian soldier or something else altogether. Originally written in 1820, Washington Irving's haunting, yet humorous narrative describes of the local schoolmaster whose lonely journey home turns into a night of delightful terror when he is met on the road by the Headless Horseman.

This is the fifth year I've listened to this, and the third year I've used it for Halloween Bingo. I'm not going to review it here, but I will link to the review I posted five years ago. I will also post this picture of Tom Mison again, because he's gorgeous.
I've listened to this every year since I got it--four years now. Tom Mison is what makes this book for me. His narration is absolutely delightful.
My third time listening to this, and I swear it gets better every time. Tom Mison is a fabulous narrator, he should totally narrate more books.
