In “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” by Washington Irving, was Written in 1820. It was a great book that caught the attention of many people for its thriller theme. When in 1949, Walt Disney decided to make a replica of the book calling it “The Adventures of Ichabod Crane and Mr. Toad”. Both stories are similar in certain ways but the movie just doesn't show Irvings Dark Romanticism side. Besides you can differ the movies plot and the books plot very easily. Both stories have the same characters and setting, but they just simply don’t have the same personification Washington intended them to have. They act very different when compared to each other.

Meanwhile in the movie, Ichabod seems petrified as he is hearing the legend. He wouldn't eat nor talk either; he would just be quiet and listen. He had a face expression like if he would just seen a ghost. There are many differences between both but they certainly have something in common, both Ichabod and Brom Bones are in love with Katrina. Which can be comprehended because in both stories she is described as a beautiful, blonde, women. There is only something that doesn't match, the ending. In both stories many things are changed like the persecution and what happened to Ichabod. In the movie they give an alternative ending, Ichabod survives the attack of the hessian trooper and moves out of Terry town and begins a new life with a new family. In Irvings book, they never found Ichabod. The day he went missing the found four clues of his disappearance; Ichabods hat, horse hoof prints, shattered pumpkins and Ichabods horse
