The Legend of Sleepy Hollow & Other Stories

Washington Irving's frightening tale of the schoolmaster Ichabod Crane's encounter with the terrifying Headless Horseman, now repackaged with a beautifully designed jacket by noted illustrator Malika Favre.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Ichabod Crane, a schoolteacher, came to Tarry Town in the glen of Sleepy Hollow to ply his trade in educating young minds. He was a gullible and excitable fellow, often so terrified by locals' stories of ghosts that he would hurry through the woods on his way home, singing to keep from hysterics.

Until late one night, he finds that maybe they're not just stories. What is that dark, menacing figure riding behind him on a horse? And what does it have in its hands? And why wasn't schoolteacher Crane ever seen in Sleepy Hollow again?

This edition also includes Washington Irving's other short stories, including Rip van Winkle.
