The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

the legend of sleepy hollow this Annotated edition includes some additional contents related to this book., for better reading experience. Washington Irving was around when America was still in diapers-you know, back when Europeans made fun of the U. S. for having no culture. But then, in 1820, he churned out The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent., and his collection of stories and essays smacked those Europeans in the face with comedy. It sold like gangbusters-think Harry Potter, bootlegging and all. Included in this collection was "Sleepy Hollow," and with its success, Irving became the first American to be widely read in both the U. S. and Europe. Oh, and American literature gained a forefather. The story of the Headless Horseman isn't totally original; it was based on folktales that came before it. But Mr. Irving made it shine. Why is this story so popular, you ask? Well it's got everything you could ever ask for in a story: action, adventure, romance(ish), horror, comedy, the list goes on. And something about this sleepy little town-and that awkward, skinny guy-has been intriguing readers (just like you) for centuries
