Rip Van Winkle and 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.
