Set in 1790, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow tells the tale of superstitious schoolmaster Ichabod Crane who seeks the hand of Katrina, but finds he has a rival for her affections in the form of Brom Bones Van Brunt who likes to play tricks on him. Turned down by Katrina, heavyhearted and crestfallen he rides through the autumn night where he encounters a headless horseman in a classic American ghost story that is often referenced today. Its a companion piece to Rip Van Winkle, which youll also find here among many other great short stories from Washington Irving, who was a good friend of Charles Dickens and perhaps the first America author to earn a living from writing. Interestingly, Irving was the man who first popularized the name Gotham for New York City and he also invented the flying sequence for Santa Clauss sleigh.ABOUT THE SERIES The Arcturus Classics series brings together highquality paperback editions of classics works, presented with contemporary graphic cover designs.
