the legend of sleepy hollow this special edition book includes summary, Character lists in the story and so on., we hope you enjoy reading this book.Washington Irving's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is one of the few early American short stories that is still widely read today.Most people are probably familiar with the story through the movie and television renditions of the story, the earliest of which was in 1922, a version called The Headless Horseman starring Will Rogers as the main character, Ichabod Crane. In 1949, Disney created its own version, The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad with Bing Crosby narrating. This version, with its excellent use of visual symbolism, is fairly accurate, minus its lengthy chase scene.In 1999, Tim Burton's account of Sleepy Hollow, starring Johnny Depp, takes a different, darker approach with more head-chopping and less whimsical storytelling. Even some TV shows, like Nickelodeon's Are You Afraid of the Dark, Wishbone and Charmed, have taken the basics of the story and adapted it into their own, up-to-date storyline

"The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" tells the tale of Ichabod Crane and his hapless attempt to win the coronary heart and hand of Katrina Van Tassel inside the context of a comical ghost story. Ichabod comes to Sleepy Hollow, New York, from his domestic nation of Connecticut, to be the schoolmaster of the village.

Its residents all seem to move a bit slower, daydream a bit more, and be extra at risk of agree with in the supernatural. Sleepy Hollow, maybe because of this or maybe because its citizens are almost all descended from its authentic Dutch settlers, has more than its honest share of supernatural occurrences, or as a minimum testimony of them.Sleepy Hollow's maximum famous supernatural phenomenon is the ghost of the Headless Horseman, said to be a Hessian soldier who lost his head to a cannon ball during the Revolutionary War. The Horseman is visible most usually driving through the church, where nearby historians say he was buried. He is thought to be continually searching for his head. Ichabod is curious about this story, being in particular involved (and at risk of consider) in stories of the supernatural.
