YOUNGER FICTION
Irving, Washington

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Gary Kelley. Irving's classic tale of schoolteacher Ichabod Crane and his encounter with the headless horseman is presented in its entirety. This tall volume is well designed, with plenty of white space around the text. Unlike other illustrators of this story, Kelley doesn't exaggerate the physical attributes of the protagonist or turn him into a caricature. Instead, the color art is naturalistic, atmospheric, and quietly eerie.
