​

In The Legend of Sleepy Hollow & Other Spooky Stories: The Annotated Edition, Irving's unforgettable characters--from the Headless Horseman to the devilish bargainers in "The Devil and Tom Walker"--return to life. Annotated by Erica Abbett, the Vocabbett Classics edition offers insightful footnotes that untangle historical references, reveal hidden layers of meaning, and enrich the reader's journey through Irving's eerie tales.
