The Story Lady
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
por
The Story Lady presents a spoken telling of “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” Washington Irving’s classic tale of the schoolmaster Ichabod Crane and the mysterious Headless Horseman. The story unfolds in the quiet countryside of Sleepy Hollow, where local legends and Ichabod’s uneasy imagination shape an atmosphere of suspense.
Irving’s tale blends folklore, humor, and a touch of the supernatural. Its vivid setting and memorable characters make it a natural fit for a radio storytelling program, where a listener can follow the narrative through voice and sound rather than the printed page.
This recording offers a dramatic presentation of a familiar American ghost story, balancing its eerie legend with the playful character of Irving’s writing.
