The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
by Washington Irving
Ichabod Crane, a school teacher, came to Tarry Town in Glen of Sleepy Hollow to trade in training young minds. He was a naïve and excited man, often so afraid of the stories of local residents about ghosts that on the way home he hurriedly wandered through the forest, singing to protect himself from hysteria. Late at night, he discovers that perhaps it's not just stories. So what is this dark, terrifying figure riding a horse? And what do you have? And why was Crane's school teacher, Sleepy, never seen again in Hollow?
