Mycket gott skick.
In the aptly-named village of Sleepy Hollow, the people are much given to talk about ghosts and spirits. Even the very air seems haunted. Ichabod Crane is a teacher at the village school: learned, assertive and sometimes cruel.
Crane wishes to marry Katrina, the beautiful daughter of a wealthy farmer, but he has a rival: Brom Bones, a valiant horseman and a local hero. One night at a party held by Katrina's family, Bones tells a story that chills the hearts of his listeners: the story of a ghostly headless horseman. That is the last night that anyone lays eyes on Ichabod Crane ...
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is the inspiration for the new film, Sleepy Hollow.
This edition also includes Washington Irving's classic tale Rip Van Winkle
