The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

Yesteryear: Stories from Home by Edoardo Ballerini, Tim Donahue, and Melanie Hoopes

Episode notes

In a tumble of scenes set here on the banks of the Lower Hudson Valley, Irving animates the romantic, the longing, and the American moments that form this notoriously inconclusive tale. Perhaps at the other end, you’ll have some questions, like we did: What is all this humor doing in such a sad tale? Where do our sympathies lie with the hardworking, greedy Ichabod Crane? Who can be trusted? What in the Dickens happens at the end?

Jonathan Kruk, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow Storyteller, provides context.
