In the quiet town of Sleepy Hollow, a young schoolmaster named Ichabod Crane becomes the object of a terrifying legend. It is said that the ghostly Headless Horseman rides through the town at night, seeking his lost head and wreaking havoc on anyone who crosses his path. As Ichabod becomes more and more obsessed with the legend, he finds himself drawn deeper into a world of horror and suspense. Is the Headless Horseman real, or is he simply a figment of Ichabod's fevered imagination? First published in 1820, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is one of the most enduring works of American literature, and a classic of horror and suspense. This edition features the original text, accompanied on almost every page by illustrations that capture the spine-tingling atmosphere of the tale.
