About The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Rip Van WinkleRip Van Winkle is a short story by the American author Washington Irving, first published in 1819. It follows a Dutch-American villager in colonial America named Rip Van Winkle who meets mysterious Dutchmen, imbibes their liquor and falls asleep in the Catskill Mountains. He awakes 20 years later to a very changed world, having missed the American Revolution.The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, published by Irving a year later in 1820, follows the tale of school teacher Ichabod Crane, newly arrived to the area, a Dutch enclave on the Hudson River. A suggestible fellow, Crane believes the ghost stories and tales of witchcraft he has heard and read. He is particularly impressed by the tale of a spectral headless horseman said to haunt the area.Among the earliest examples of American Fiction, these stories are enduringly popular classics.
