There was an awesome interview on NPR this morning about Irving’s Sketchbook and Ichabod Crane. I’ll definitely re-read!!

  I’ll definitely try to find the interview online. Thanks!
  
  PS-Yes, the universe is probably telling you that you need to reread some Irving books!

I have such oddly wonderful memories of this painting. It was dark but exciting to me as a child.
