In a small Dutch settlement known as Sleepy Hollow, Yankee transplant Ichabod Crane is competing with local hero Brom Bones for the hand of a wealthy farmer’s daughter. Will the legends and ghost stories of Sleepy Hollow scare off the superstitious schoolmaster from his pursuit of the lovely Katrina Van Tassel? Is the Headless Horseman truly to be feared, or is this just another one of Bones’ pranks? Washington Irving’s simple yet whimsical prose, and his penchant for the fantastical and the macabre, was a great influence on the works of Edgar Allan Poe. The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, one of his most popular works, was published in 1820 and continues to provide thrills and chills to people of all ages.
