A famous gothic novella featuring artwork by illustrator Antonio Lorente. A magnificent edition with atmospheric illustrations. Washington Irving’s "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" will appeal to fans of gothic literature and blood-chilling tales. Sleepy Hollow is a strange place, rife with superstitions. Some tell stories of its enchanted valleys and streams, a ghostly woman in white, and eerie midnight cries, but they talk most of all about the Headless Horseman—a huge, spectral soldier who strikes terror into the hearts of unsuspecting travelers.
Schoolteacher Ichabod Crane is fascinated by these stories. Until one autumn night, while heading home, he realizes: perhaps these aren't just scary tales. Otherwise, what is that dark, threatening figure riding on horseback behind him? And what is it holding in its hands?..
