5th book review 'Rip Van Winkle and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow'


I read 'Rip Van Winkle and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow'. I learned about Washington Irving in the literary history of America class, and I'm interested in his works, so I decided to read this book.
These stories are strange. This book was written about people, ghosts. Rip Van Winkle is a main character of 'Rip Van Winkle'. One day he went to the mountains with his dog, Wolf. He met a man, followed the man, drank from the barrel with some men. He was happy, so he didn't go home, and he slept there. When he got up, he became a grandfather. He thought he slept a day, but he slepy twenty years. And, he went home, lived with his daughter and her family.
A teacher, Ichabod Crane is a main character of 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow'. He liked listening to stories about ghosts. Some people said there are ghosts in Sleepy Hollow. Ichabod \went to Sleepy Hollow at one night. He met a man who didn't have a head. Ichabod ran away, then the ghostb threw his head at Ichabod. Then, he disappeared.
These two of stories are strange, but interesting. This book is easy to read, so I recommend this book!!!
