The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Other Stories Synopsis

This elegant collector's edition presents Washington Irving's terrifying tale, 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow' alongside 15 other of his classic short stories, featuring silver cover embossing and gilded page-edges.

'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.

This beautiful pocket-sized gift edition contains these classic and unabridged tales, presented with a gold embossed cover design, ivory pages, beautifully designed endpapers and gold gilded page edges. Part of the Arcturus Ornate Classics series, this book makes wonderful gift for any lover of classic literature.
