Rip Van Winkle & the Legend of Sleepy Hollow

In the first of these stories, Rip van Winkle sleeps for over twenty years, and then wakes up to a world that he no longer understands.

In the other story, Ichabod Crane, the school teacher, meets a headless rider in the middle of a dark night.

These two classic tales of the supernatural by Washington Irving have been popular for nearly two hundred years.
