    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.
