Review: Legends and Lore of Sleepy Hollow

Legends and Lore of Sleepy Hollow and the Hudson Valley

Legends and Lore of Sleepy Hollow and the Hudson Valley by Jonathan Kruk

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A great book for anyone interested in the lore of Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown. Some of the folk stories were embellished or stretched a bit with a storyteller’s sensibility, which I personally am okay with, as the author makes no claims to having put together an academic book. Folklore is a living thing and changes just a little in each teller’s hands. I really loved this–enjoyable, fun, informative.
