In the quiet village of Sleepy Hollow, the locals have a peculiar obsession: ghosts. Most terrible of all, they say, is the Headless Horseman, a Hessian trooper who rises from the grave each night in search of his head. Enter Ichabod Crane, an ambitious new schoolmaster who dreams of capturing the heart of the beautiful and wealthy Katrina van Tassel. But when the handsome prankster Brom Bones discovers Ichabod's fear of the supernatural, the schoolmaster's carefully laid plans are put to the test. This adaptation faithfully captures the comedy and horror of Irving's text with larger-than-life characters and a terrifying climax that blurs nightmare and reality.
Washington Irving Was born in New York City in 1783. He lived in the United States, England, and Spain (where he served as an American diplomatic attache). A prolific author, Irving wrote The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent., Diedrich Knickerbocker's History of New York, The Alhambra, and biographies of George Washington and Christopher Columbus, among other works. He is best remembered, however, for his two most famous stories, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and "Rip Van Winkle."
