by Washington Irving This is one of those classics I've meant to read for years. It's written in an older English dialect that adds atmosphere to the narrative and brings the Dutch communities of New England to life with all their customs and superstitions. Icabod Crane is a schoolmaster who has...
I got this book as a freebie from audible (my first audiobook, btw!) six years ago and have listened to it every year since then. Here's the review I posted in 2014, and here's the annual Tom Mison picture, because he's easy on the eyes. And here he is as Ichabod Crane. TV Ichabod is far supe...
2019: I skipped listening to this one the last couple of years, so it's with great delight that I've returned to it for the "Sleepy Hollow" square on my bingo card. My 2016 and 2013 updates are below. As an aside, the new boy that I mention in the 2014 updates is now my daughter's fiancee and will...
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.

And not in the least bit scary. I'm probably the only person in the whole wide world who didn't like ...
Die Bewohner von Sleepy Hollow leiden unter Visionen und Erscheinungen, darunter ein furchteinflößender Reiter, der auf seinem Pferd kopflos durch das Tal zu traben pflegt. Die Legende von Sleepy Hollow hat meiner Ansicht nach Lagerfeuer-Charme. Sie gehört zu den Geschichten, die man mit gesenkter S...
This story was part of the landscape of my childhood. I grew up in New York, on Long Island, but my father was an upstater, and my mother actually lived in Tarrytown itself when she and my grandma first came to this country. As integral to my folk knowledge as songs like "Low Bridge, Everybody Down"...
This is the first I’ve ever read Ichabod Crane’s original story, and it was surprisingly funny, especially as read by the wonderful Tom Mison in this Audible Original performance. Ichabod is wonderfully drawn with his ridiculous appearance and unconscious arrogance and hubris, so that I can still fe...
