Set in 1790, ''The Legend of Sleepy Hollow'' tells the tale of superstitious schoolmaster Ichabod Crane who seeks the hand of Katrina, but finds he has a rival for her affections in the form of Brom Bones Van Brunt who likes to play tricks on him. Turned down by Katrina, ''heavy-hearted and crestfallen'' he rides through the autumn night where he encounters a headless horseman in a classic American ghost story that is often referenced today.
It''s a companion piece to ''Rip Van Winkle'', which you''ll also find here among many other great short stories from Washington Irving, who was a good friend of Charles Dickens and perhaps the first America author to earn a living from writing. Interestingly, Irving was the man who first popularized the name ''Gotham'' for New York City and he also invented the flying sequence for Santa Claus''s sleigh.
