Welcome to episode 2 of Adapted with Anna and Sam! In this episode, we dial up the snark as we compare and contrast the novella The Legend of Sleepy Hollow with Tim Burton's movie version, Sleepy Hollow.

You can find the cast list and other fun trivia on iMDB.

Purchase the book and/or movie at Amazon or Barnes and Noble, or your favorite indie bookshop, or borrow from your local library in person or via Overdrive.

Corrections Corner

--Wikipedia was actually started in 2001, so would NOT have been available to the screenwriter in 1999. My bad.

--Tom Mison, the Sleepy Hollow TV show's Ichabod Crane, was in Lost in Austen, which is not an technically an adaptation of a Jane Austen book though we do recommend a viewing (plus he was in an episode of Poirot!!).
