The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Other Stories (Penguin Classics)

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Other Stories (Penguin Classics)

The timeless collection that introduced Rip Van Winkle, Ichabod Crane, and the Headless Horseman

Perhaps the marker of a true mythos is when the stories themselves overshadow their creator. Originally published under a pseudonym asÂ The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon,Â Gent.,Â The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Other StoriesÂ gave America its own haunted mythology. This collection of larger-than-life tales contains Washington Irvingâ€™s best-known literary inventionsâ€”Ichabod Crane, the Headless Horseman, and Rip Van Winkleâ€”that continue to capture our imaginations today.

For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700Â titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust theÂ series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-dateÂ translations by award-winning translators.
