‘
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow ‘ is an 1820 short story by American author Washington Irving, contained in his collection of 34 essays and short stories titled
The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent. Irving wrote the story while living in Birmingham, England.
Along with Irving’s companion piece ‘Rip Van Winkle, ‘ ‘The Legend of Sleepy Hollow’ is among the earliest examples of American fiction with enduring popularity, especially during Halloween because of a character known as the Headless Horseman believed to be a Hessian soldier who was decapitated by a cannonball in battle.
It has been adapted for the screen several times, including a 1922 silent film and, in 1949, a Walt Disney animation as one of two segments in the package film
The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad.
