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. . . .

想起幾年前美國文學課的討論課,每次課前都讀到天亮的日子……
评分額就是很傳統的小說,充滿stereotypes…
评分Language being a bit extravagant, especially the depiction of Dutch country life in autumn. To always take a joke at life to make it easier. The moral of the story? Well, let's say obsession makes you believe anything. Ichabod was haunted by his own passion for apparitions, yet I think the pumpkin head would do him much good.
评分(1820/2005) R4 read by Martin Jarvis, music by David Pickvance. 當年還挺喜歡電影的,浪漫加驚悚;小說蠻諷刺的
评分美國文學的必讀篇目
