À propos de cette écoute

Tom Mison, star of the hit Fox series Sleepy Hollow, narrates the classic Washington Irving short story.

In the secluded Dutch territory of Sleepy Hollow, nebbish schoolmaster Ichabod Crane competes with the town hero for the hand of Katrina Van Tassel, the 18-year-old daughter and sole child of a wealthy farmer. As Crane leaves a party at the Van Tassel's farm one autumn evening, he is pursued by the Headless Horseman, an apparition said to be the ghost of a Hessian trooper snuffed out by a stray cannonball during the Revolutionary War.

    "Tom Mison's voice is delicious. His precise British diction allows listeners to savor Irving's sumptuous descriptions and sly humor. There are many pleasures to be found in Mison's rendition of the brief classic story, though a few instances of Irving's casual racism grate on modern ears. Listen for yourself and discover why it has so captured our collective imagination. (Mison himself stars in Sleepy Hollow, the current TV incarnation.) Whether you're familiar with the original story of Ichabod Crane and the Headless Horseman or not, Mison's reading is a gratifying way to experience it." ( AudioFile)

    Loving the Burton movie, I wanted to get to know the book it was adapted from and I was not disappointed! Even if the story differs totally from the movie, it's no less good. With vivid descriptions of the characters and their surroundings, we have no trouble getting immersed in the universe of Sleepy Hollow. A good point that I wouldn't have guessed -only knowing the movie- is that even if the story tells us ghosts and witchs tales, it also brings another explanation of the weird events taking place, which I loved! Since it's a short book and well read, I encourage you to listen to it!

    A short but complete story
