  The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving is a timeless American classic that weaves together folklore, superstition, and suspense in the hauntingly mysterious town of Sleepy Hollow. Set in a quiet, eerie village nestled in the Hudson Valley, this story follows the adventures of the superstitious schoolteacher Ichabod Crane. Ichabod, a lanky and awkward figure, is captivated by the ghostly tales of the town, particularly the legend of the Headless Horseman—a spectral figure said to roam the woods at night in search of his lost head. 
  As Ichabod competes for the hand of the beautiful Katrina Van Tassel, he finds himself in rivalry with the brash and strong Brom Bones. When tensions mount, Ichabod’s path crosses with the fabled ghost during a fateful ride home on a dark, foggy night. Is it merely a prank by his rival, or is the Headless Horseman more than just a legend? The story’s suspense builds to a spine-tingling climax that has fascinated readers for generations. 
  Rich in atmosphere and filled with vivid descriptions of the autumnal landscape, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is a perfect tale for those who love classic American literature, ghost stories, and Halloween thrills. This audiobook version captures the eerie charm and haunting mood of Irving’s tale, making it an ideal companion for a crisp, moonlit night.

  Jean Ingelow (17 March 1820 - 20 July 1897) was an English poet and novelist, who gained sudden fame in 1863. She also wrote several stories for children. Ingelow followed this in 1851 with a story, "Allerton and Dreux", but it was the publication of her Poems in 1863 that suddenly made her popular. It ran rapidly through numerous editions and was set to music, proving popular as domestic entertainment. The collection was said to have sold 200,000 copies. Her writings often focus on religious introspection. In 1867 she edited, with Dora Greenwell, The Story of Doom and other Poems, a poetry collection for children.
  A SHIP ON FIRE AT SEA: As she spoke two strange objects came into my view. One was a great pale moon, sickly and white, hanging and seeming to brood over the horizon; the other, which looked about the same size, was red and seemed to lie close at her side. It was not round, but looked blotted and blurred in the mist. Could it be a meteor?

  His Wife's Deceased Sister -...

  Frank R Stockton

  Frank Richard Stockton was born in Philadelphia on 5th April 1834.  
  His father, a Methodist minister, discouraged Stockton’s literary career from an early age.  Feeling unable to go against those wishes it was for many years that Stockton’s income was maintained as a wood engraver.   
  His first work was published in 1867 and his first collection only appeared in 1870.  Despite this late arrival Stockton’s innovative and often far-fetched stories, with a gentle ‘poking fun’ humour were very popular.  Like his contemporary Mark Twain he avoided the scolding, hectoring and moral tones of many other authors and instead gently teased and cajoled his reader to open their eyes to the ills, the greed and the ambitions of the world around them.  His sci-fi stories in particular were far-seeing and inventive including a tale of negative gravity and a bloodless Anglo-US war won by technological feats.  
  Perhaps his most enduring tale though is ‘The Lady, or the Tiger?’ from 1882.  A condemned man is given a choice of being eaten alive or marrying his princess lover.  But he has to choose which door each is behind. 
  Frank R Stockton died in Washington, DC, on 20th April 1902, of a cerebral haemorrhage.  He is buried at The Woodlands in Philadelphia.
