The chief part of the stories, however, turned upon the favorite specter of Sleepy Hollow, the Headless Horseman, who had been heard several times of late, patrolling the country; and, it was said, tethered his horse nightly among the graves in the churchyard. The story was immediately matched by a thrice marvelous adventure of Brom Bones, who made light of the Galloping Hessian as an arrant jockey. He affirmed that on returning one night from the neighboring village of Sing Sing, he had been overtaken by this midnight trooper; that he had offered to race with him for a bowl of punch, and should have won it too, for Daredevil beat the goblin horse all hollow, but just as they came to the church bridge, the Hessian bolted, and vanished in a flash of fire. All these tales, told in that drowsy undertone with which men talk in the dark, the countenances of the listeners only now and then receiving a casual gleam from the glare of a pipe, sank deep in the mind of Ichabod. . . .

评分额就是很传统的小说，充满stereotypes…
评分现在看就没难度了... 很light-hearted
评分The description of Crane is ironic????He looks exactly like his name: his head like a bird perching on his neck and his hands stretching out 1 mile from his sleeves. The supertitious coward who only cares about wealth, is an emblem of material philistine outside of the village. But I don't think the rustic and ignorant villiage life is to be praised.
