You feel that you are there.

As with many readers, my previous exposure to this story was the Disney Cartoon and the ghoulish adaptation by Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci in the Movie "Sleepy Hollow" [Blu-ray] (1999). With my purchase of the story, I was catching up on the classics or samples from different writers. I did not realize this was so short of a story and had to get the images out of my head from the films. I am amazed by the good descriptive writing of Washington Irving. I had to set the book down occasionally to look up people and words. Now I ordered information on Hudson and Cotton Mather. I spent a year near the location of the story at West Point. Now I wonder if there was such a place as Sleepy Hollow. This is another example of the book being better than the movie. And I look forward to reading more of Washington Irving. You will be hooked on him also. In any event, it is worth the read.
