The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

In the sleepy Dutch settlement of Tarry Town, lanky schoolmaster Ichabod Crane courts the wealthy Katrina Van Tassel and finds himself in rivalry with the town's brawny favorite, Brom Bones — all while the Hollow's local legend, a Hessian trooper who lost his head to a cannonball and now rides the night roads searching for a replacement, looms over every late walk home. Washington Irving's 1820 tale gave America one of its first and most enduring ghost stories, a sly comic legend that turns an autumn night's walk into pure suspense, building to a chase that has haunted readers for two centuries. One of the true founding texts of American fiction.
