THE LEGEND OF SLEEPY HOLLOW by Washington Irving: History & Detailed Summary

[@sarahd2800]

Sooooo good!! Thank you! We homeschool - my son is about to read this book; and we’re watching this first for context!

[@CarrieHoover]

Thank you! It's one of my favorites; I hope your son loves it, too!

[@anthonyskrobul3726]

Thank you for your excellent lectures about "The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow." I read this story every year during the autumn season. By the way, I love your channel. I always look forward to new content.

Carrie, I read this story every year around September. I used to live up near the Tarry town area. Thank you for the historical information you provided in the beginning. I hope you will publish more videos soon.

[@CarrieHoover]

I read it every year, too! I've never been to that area; do you think Irving's descriptions of the land are realistic?

[@ericlawson2334]

Carrie, It's that time of year again, where I am reading the Legend of Sleepy Hollow with my 8th grade classes, and this summary video was extremely informative (and fun to watch), and you do so in a way that really brings it to life and digs much deeper than the surface. I enjoy and appreciate all your time and hard work. Happy Halloween!

[@CarrieHoover]

It's one of my favorite stories! Happy Halloween!

You're such a great help, thank you!!

[@CarrieHoover]

I'm so glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching!

[@welearn6942]

Do you have a summary of Troy, King Arthur, and Beowulf?(any of the three) 🙂

[@CarrieHoover]

@@welearn6942 Not yet, but Beowulf is on my list! Is there a specific poem or story about King Arthur you are looking for?

[@welearn6942]

@@CarrieHoover King Arthur and the knights of the round table.(Arthurian Legend)

Thank you so much, very informative♥️

I enjoy your work and wish it was available when I was back in school (way before the internet). Anyway, please consider working with James Fenimore Cooper and the Last of the Mohicans. The book is a bit different from the latest movie. I am luck to live in the region of upstate New York where, if the characters were real, they'd have passed right through our neighborhood. Thanks again, you have a great story telling style.

Good luck!

[@anthonymurphy2540]

[@sdamom621]

I understand the story in a deeper way and enjoy it more now. Wish I was going to be tested on it 😊

Hi there! I searched online and found out some information about Washington Irving being the "Father of American Literature." Some sources say that it is Irving. But other sources say that according to William Faulkner, it is Mark Twain. I'm just curious. What are your thoughts about this?

[@CarrieHoover]

There's so many ways to think about this! Between the two, I would vote for Washington Irving, but I think a lot of readers might argue for an earlier author, like James Fenimore Cooper or Charles Brockden Brown.

[@Joy-yk9pw]

@@CarrieHoover Thank you so much for your reply. I appreciate it.
