Autumn weekend in Sleepy Hollow, New
York
From the listless
repose of the place, and the peculiar character of its inhabitants, who are
descendants from the original Dutch settlers, this sequestered glen has long
been known by name of Sleepy Hollow ... A drowsy, dreamy influence seems
to hang over the land, and to pervade the very atmosphere.
—Washington
Irving , The
Legend of Sleepy Hollow
It's nearly autumn and time to start planning a few weekend trips for Fall Festivals, haunted houses, pumpkin picking and peak leaf-color drives. I am a fall fanatic, I just love everything autumn. So of course Washington Irving’s book The
Legend of Sleepy Hollow is one of my favorites.
