Rip Van Winkle and Other Stories by Washington Irving
What stood out most for me was the brevity. The whole point of Rip Van Winkle is made quickly without much fuss. The headless horseman seems to be an incidental character in Sleepy Hollow. The other stories were not bad, but I do not recall many of the details.
