Book Description
Ichabod Crane is a superstituous schoolmaster vying for the hand of Katrina Van Tessel, the daughter of a wealthy local farmer. He lives in a small early-American settlement near a ghostly glen named Sleepy Hollow. Many disturbing legends surround the glen, and an especially frightening tale, that of the deadly Headless Horseman, will come to determine Ichabod Crane's future. First published in 1820, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow has become an enduring staple of early-American literature. Written by Washington Irving, author of Rip Van Winkle, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow has been adapted numerous times, most notably in the 1999 Tim Burton film starring Johnny Depp, and in the 2013 television series which used the tale as inspiration for a modern-day retelling. This e-book edition features a live table of contents and illustrations from an 1868 version of the text published by G. P. Putnam. Illustrations were inserted in the e-book at locations that are as close as possible to the original placement of the images in the original printed book.

Book Description
Washington Irving's classic, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," has been making spines tingle since 1820!

Our imaginations conjure every conceivable danger, but in one of history's most famous encounters, one Ichabod Crane comes--dare we say it, face to face? --with the "specter known at all the country firesides," the Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow. A classic, distinctively American tale, that evokes additional terror as Halloween comes and goes each year, this is the original, 1820 version, as originally found in Irving's collection of short stories entitled "The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent."
