Legend of Sleepy Hollow

Washington Irving's collection "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" brings together three legendary mystical tales: "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," "Rip Van Winkle," and "The Spectre Bridegroom." This book captivates with a special atmosphere — light, slightly ironic, but with a hint of mystery. Here are encounters with ghosts, incredible adventures, and mystical events that give the heroes' lives a unique flavor. However, the author does not seek to frighten — he guides the reader through myths and legends with a smile, leaving behind a feeling of coziness and the joy of an uncovered mystery. A classic of world literature, for the first time in Belarusian.

...These were all merely phantoms of the night, phantoms of the mind, wandering in the darkness. And though he had seen many of them, and even once during a lonely stroll encountered Satan himself, daylight always overcame all this devilry, and then he could lead an ordinary, pleasant life without fear of forces from the other world.
