Legend of Sleepy Hollow (AmazonClassics Edition), The

Of all the ghostly lore that bedevils Sleepy Hollow, none terrifies more than the galloping spectre of the Headless Horseman. Few in the haunted glen are as susceptible to the tale as the superstitious schoolmaster, Ichabod Crane. But just as bewitching—and bewildering—to Ichabod is the elusive coquette Katrina Van Tassel. On an autumn eve, Ichabod attends a harvest party, hoping to finally woo the woman of his dreams. Instead, he sees his worst nightmares come true.

After two hundred years, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow continues its reign as one of America’s most hallowed folk stories.
