Download one of our favorite Librivox recordings of all time! It's a great short story to listen to. The book was written by Washington Irving, one of the first acclaimed American authors. It tells the tale of a Dutch settlement called Sleepy Hollow which is haunted by the legend of a Headless Horseman. This story is read by Chip at LibriVox and his narration is magnificent. It's available on MP3 & bookmarkable MPEG-4 download along with a free PDF eBook.
Description by Chip at Librivox: The quiet Dutch community of Sleepy Hollow lay in the Adirondack mountains on the western shore of the mighty Hudson River in America’s colonial period. The solitude of the woods was breathtaking, and not even a schoolmaster was immune from the eerie miasma which everyone knew permeated the dense forest. Written in 1820, Washington Irving’s The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow has become a classic of American literature, and has been retold in many different ways. Here is the original, from Irving’s own hand.

This is a perfect LibriVox audiobook. Chip is a professional narrator and he narrates with gusto! The descriptions of this small Dutch settlement are vivid and the legend of Sleepy Hollow draws you in and never lets up. I loved every minute of it.
