The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

In the hushed glen of Sleepy Hollow, where mist curls through ancient trees and every whisper might be a ghost, superstition is as thick as the autumn fog. Schoolmaster Ichabod Crane—awkward, ambitious, and endlessly curious—arrives in this secluded Dutch settlement dreaming of love, fortune, and respect. But when he sets his sights on the captivating heiress Katrina Van Tassel, he also stirs the jealousy of her bold suitor, Brom Bones.

As harvest season wanes and shadows lengthen, tales of the Headless Horseman, the phantom rider said to haunt the Hollow, take on a terrible life of their own. One fateful night, beneath a pale moon and a canopy of rustling leaves, Ichabod’s world of reason collides with legend—and the line between man and myth vanishes.

Washington Irving’s classic 1820 tale remains one of America’s most enduring ghost stories: part romance, part satire, and wholly haunting. This definitive edition invites a new generation of readers and listeners to rediscover the humor, atmosphere, and shiver of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow—a story where fear rides fastest in the imagination.

(Perfect for fans of gothic folklore, timeless ghost stories, and darkly romantic Americana.)
