The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving | Illustrated Hardcover
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving | Illustrated Hardcover
Description
A dark road, a headless horseman, and one of America’s most enduring Halloween tales.
Return to the shadowy lanes of Sleepy Hollow, where superstitious schoolmaster Ichabod Crane has set his sights on Katrina Van Tassel, the daughter of a prosperous farmer. Unfortunately for Ichabod, he isn’t her only admirer—and his romantic rival may know exactly how to use Ichabod’s belief in ghosts to his advantage.
First published in the early 19th century, Washington Irving’s The Legend of Sleepy Hollow helped shape the American short story and gave us one of literature’s most unforgettable supernatural figures: the Headless Horseman.
This beautifully bound hardcover edition pairs Irving’s classic tale with charming full-color illustrations by Arthur Rackham. Gilded gold page edges, premium archival-quality paper, and a petite format make it a lovely volume to read on an October evening and an equally beautiful addition to a collected library.
A little eerie, wonderfully atmospheric, and practically required reading for Halloween.

This one belongs in the October book stack. Pair it with Frankenstein, Edgar Allan Poe, and Grimm’s Fairy Tales, then add an old brass candlestick and a curious black cat for a Halloween display that encourages you to actually pull the books down and read them.
