Gangly Ichabod Crane is a Connecticut school teacher. The near penniless bachelor has traveled to the Hudson Valley in search of a teaching position. When he meets Katrina Van Tassel, he decides she would make him a perfect wife. But Brom Bones has also set his cap for Katrina. He lets Ichabod know about the local legend; the ghost of a Hessian soldier who lost his head to a cannon ball during the revolutionary war. The headless horseman roams the woods near Sleepy Hollow searching for his head. One night Ichabod meets him...
Since it is Halloween, I thought I would listen to this classic short story. The writing was very descriptive. There was very little dialogue. Actually, I'm not sure there was any dialogue. Unfortunately, I wanted less description and more plot. The confrontation between Ichabod and the headless horseman was very quick. Next time I'll stick to the movie version of the story. My rating: 3 Stars.
