Legend of Sleepy Hollow
Ghosts and goblins abound in Sleepy Hollow. The haunting tales of the Headless Horseman entranced Ichabod Crane. During the day, he found the stories exciting. But at night he was afraid. His fear reached new heights the night he was chased by the mysterious ghost! The terrifying ride is brought to life in this striking graphic novel adaptation of Washington Irving's short story. A creator biography and glossary help reluctant readers take the first step on the road to classic literature.

Legend of Sleepy Hollow (Graphic Horror) – Booklist
This Graphic horror entry is an entertaining and faithful, if much adapted version of Irving’s classic story. Zornow’s illustrations are the highlight of the work, successfully bringing the characters of the story to life. Patient readers, especially those unacquainted with the original story, may find themselves drawn in by the mix of fun and horror.
