Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Other Stories

Adapted into the Academy Award winning film Sleepy Hollow, directed by Tim Burton and starring Johnny Depp. '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 is accompanied by other tales from Washington Irving, including the iconic 'Rip Van Winkle'.
