Taking up the story of Washington Irving's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow on the day after Ichabod Crane met the Headless Horseman, The Disappearance of Ichabod Crane follows three faithful students as they search for clues about their school-master's fate. Join Tom, Mary, and Piper as they travel the roads of Sleepy Hollow and interview Irving's original characters: crotchety old Hans Van Ripper, flirtatious Katrina Van Tassel and her good-natured father, plus the memorable Brom Bones. Can they piece together enough clues to find Ichabod Crane? Will they dare to follow him? In addition to the play, Irving's classic story The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is included in its entirety. This specially prepared edition of the original story has been newly annotated for the modern reader.
