The Story 

"Daylight put an end to all these evils."

The ultimate Halloween story, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow gives us the headless horseman character often portrayed with a pumpkin in place of the outstanding appendage. The story has its roots in European folklore featuring the Scandinavian Wild-Hunt and Irish Dullahan (meaning without a head). This old world merges with the new land, with the story also containing aspects of the American revolutionary war and the proto-American Gothic. 

Our bookish print uses horror art from the original work along with a spooky Sleepy Hollow quote to capture the fear inspired by the headless horseman since his original incarnation. The tree in the centre of the image and the different coloured horses split the figures - one in unrelenting pursuit and the other in abject fear. This results in a vintage book poster perfect for readers and book lovers looking for literary Halloween gifts to curate an authentic bookish gothic decor experience that stays true to the themes of this literary classic.

Our bookish art uses a Sleepy Hollow quote and gothic artwork to create a horror poster filled with terror. A book lovers gift for any spooky reading corner.

Take Washington Irving's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow beyond the shelf with our literary poster. This book cover art print haunts any home décor - a great bookish gift for the book nook of book lovers!
