The legend of Sleepy Hollow and other stories
This illustrated volume of The Legend of Sleep Hollow provides a vibrant experience for readers of this classic horror work. The story relates the tale of Ichabod Crane, a lean, lanky and extremely superstitious schoolmaster from Connecticut, who competes with Abraham "Brom Bones" Van Brunt, the town rowdy, for the hand of 18-year-old Katrina Van Tassel, the daughter and sole child of a wealthy farmer, Baltus Van Tassel. Crane, a Yankee and an outsider, sees marriage to Katrina as a means of procuring Van Tassel's extravagant wealth. Bones, the local hero, vies with Ichabod for Katrina's hand, exacting a series of pranks on the jittery schoolmaster, and the fate of Sleepy Hollow's fortune weighs in the balance for some time. The tension between the three is soon brought to a head. One night, the ambitious Crane attends a harvest party at the Van Tassels' homestead. He dances, partakes in the feast and listens to ghostly legends told by Brom and the locals, but his true aim is to propose to Katrina after the guests leave. His intentions, however, are ill-fated. After having failed to secure Katrina's hand, Ichabod rides home "heavy-hearted and crestfallen" through the woods between Van Tassel's farmstead and the Sleepy Hollow settlement. As he passes several purportedly haunted spots, his active imagination is engorged by the ghost stories told at Baltus' harvest party. After nervously passing under a lightning-stricken tulip tree purportedly haunted by the ghost of British spy Major André, Ichabod encounters a cloaked rider at an intersection in a menacing swamp. Unsettled by his fellow traveler's eerie size and silence, the teacher is horrified to discover that his companion's head is not on his shoulders, but on his saddle. This character has famously become known as the Headless Horseman, and acts as an early representation of the undead.

Sleepy Hollow : la légende du cavalier sans tête
Collection of four stories of strange and unexplainable circumstances. A headless horseman haunts Sleep Hollow. At least that's the legend in the tiny village of Tarrytown. But scary stories won't stop the town's new schoolmaster, Ichabod Crane, from crossing through the Hollow, especially when the beautiful Katrina lives on the other side. Will Ichabod win over his beloved or discover that the legend of Sleepy Hollow is actually true? Also, Rip Van Winkle is surprised by what he sees and doesn't see after waking up from a long slumber; a young bride in The Specter Bridegroom might become a widow before the night is over; and the miser of The Devil and Tom Walker makes a deal he'll regret.

Ichabod Crane, an extremely superstitious schoolmaster from Connecticut, moves to the town of Sleepy Hollow to teach in a one-room schoolhouse. Ichabod finds himself in competition with Abraham "BROM BONES" Van Brunt for the hand of 18-year-old Katrina Van Tassel.

Sage, storyteller, and wit, Washington Irving created such staples of American fiction as the stories 'Rip Van Winkle' and 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.' He earned his preeminence in early American literature with the masterpieces in miniature collected here: dozens of stories, travel essays, biographical discourses, and literary musings. 'His influence on American writers is unquestioned,' wrote Edgar Allan Poe, and his stories have proved as enduring as the Catskill Mountains the author immortalized. 'Exceptional talent'.I am one of his most ardent admirers. I admired Mr. Irving's work so much, in fact, that I gave it the ultimate praise; I 'borrowed it.'''Edgar Allan Poe With an Introduction by Wayne Franklin.

"Ichabod Crane, a school teacher in Sleepy Hollow, falls in love with Katrina Van Tassel, and his rivalry with Brom Bones results in Ichabod's encounters with the 'Headless Horseman'. This is one of the most famous parts of 'The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent'" --Provided by publisher.
The legend of Sleepy Hollow = La leyenda de Sleepy Hollow
When Ichabod Crane becomes the new schoolmaster of Sleepy Hollow, he quickly and happily adjusts to the local ways. He delights in the bountiful dinners he's served when visiting the prosperous farms of the region; he enjoys the local yarns and scary legends that fill the firelit evenings of autumn; and he comes to love the idea of marrying Katrina Van Tassel and of one day owning her father's wealth and lands. There's one problem with his plans, though: Brom Bones, the local hero, who decided long ago to wed Katrina himself. And now, to his annoyance, this pasty-faced bookworm named Ichabod is making a serious bid. This droll tale of romantic rivalry climaxes with the appearance of the Headless Horseman.

Si Washington Irving hubiera escrito tan solo los dos deliciosos relatos de este volumen, habria merecido sin duda el puesto de honor que ostenta en la literatura norteamericana.

Pero, en su empeno, el desgarbado pedagogo habra de rivalzar con el temible Brom Bones, un joven fornido y bromista que cuenta con dos valiosos aliados: el espectro de un Jinete sin Cabeza, que tiene aterradas a las gentes del valle, y la imaginacion febril del mismo Ichabod.
