The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow

by Washington Irving

Overview

Classic horror story, with new illustrations, Ichabod Crane's life had been one of calm occurrence – day in and day out; his life was the same. But the meeting of a lovely young woman by the name of Katrina Van Tassel meant he was sure she would one day become his wife. But she had another vying for her attentions – Brom Bones.
The night of great revelry at her father's home - with dancing, eating and drinking – Ichabod was sure he would be betrothed by night's end. But on returning home his mind wouldn't stop dwelling on the stories of the Headless Horseman and the Galloping Hessian. Tales of horror that he had previously discounted as just talk. But was it all just talk?

About the Author

Irving is largely credited as the first American Man of Letters, and the first to earn his living solely by his pen. Eulogizing Ir-ving before the Massachusetts Historical Society in December 1859, his friend, the poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, acknowledged Irving's role in promoting American literature: "We feel a just pride in his renown as an author, not forgetting that, to his other claims upon our gratitude, he adds also that of having been the first to win for our country an honourable name and position in the History of Letters".
