What We're Reading: Tracy

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, retold and illustrated by Will Moses from the original story by Washington Irving.

October is the perfect time to take a trip to "a mysterious, dreamy little settlement called Sleepy Hollow." Just hope you don't meet the Headless Horseman along the way! Washington Irving's classic story, set in the Hudson River Valley of New York during the late 1700s, relates the adventures of superstitious schoolmaster Ichabod Crane on the night he met the Headless Horseman. The tale is beautifully brought to life by Will Moses' folk art illustrations, so similar to those of his great grandmother, the famed American primitive painter, Grandma Moses.
