About this listen

 Most people are familiar with the tale of the Headless Horseman, but you might not remember just how captivating a storyteller Washington Irving truly was. He had a keen eye for human nature and, like any great humorist, invites us to chuckle at our own quirks and superstitions through the lens of colorful characters. If your memories of this classic tale are hazy, its time to listen and enjoy the laughter that has echoed through generations. Even my high school English teacher, who struggled to spark my interest in literature, would be proud.Copyright Short Stories Art Literary History & Criticism
