One of the early examples of American fiction, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow continues to enthrall the readers of today. The story is set in Sleepy Hollow, an isolated and gloomy town, full of secrets and rumored to be haunted by ghosts. The ‘Legend’ begins when the two of the Sleepy Hollow’s inhabitants- an ordinary school teacher Isabod Crane and a local hero Abraham ‘Brom Bones’ Van Brunt- begin competing for the heart of a beautiful eighteen year-old Katrina Van Tassel. On one night, both men meet at a party thrown by Katrina’s family, and Bones recalls his encounter with the Headless Horseman, the town’s infamous ghost. Bones’s story appears as a mere myth, until that very night, after an unsuccessful attempt to get Katrina’s hand, Crane himself meets the Headless Horseman and mysteriously disappears…
One of the most engrossing stories of all time, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow now became even more entertaining in this exclusive illustrated edition.
