The legend of Sleepy Hollow and other stories : [The sketch book of Geoffrey Crayon, gent.] / Washington Irving ; Introduction and Notes by Elizabeth L. Bradley.

• "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 as The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent., The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Other Stories gave America its own haunted mythology.
