Book Description
From the listless repose of the place, and the peculiar character of its inhabitants, who are descendants from the original Dutch settlers, this sequestered glen has long been known by name of Sleepy Hollow... A drowsy, dreamy influence seems to hang over the land, and to pervade the very atmosphere. Washington Irving

Book Description
Katrina Van Tassel. Katrina the flirt, the coquette, the tease-so called by the Sleepy Hollow villagers because she hasn't given her hand to one of her eager suitors. Everyone expects her to choose the muscled, handsome Brom over lean, studious Ichabod-but Katrina has objections to both of them. One autumn night, a harvest party at the Van Tassel house ends in a violent confrontation, and Katrina comes face to face with the most horrifying myth ever to haunt Sleepy Hollow-the Headless Horseman himself. Taken prisoner by the Horseman, Katrina is forced to confront her own prejudices and expectations as she discovers a deeper world of intrigue and magic. This dark romantic novella is perfect for fans of Jennifer L. Armentrout, Laura Thalassa, and Bec McMaster. (Medium heat, adult content.) The book is inspired by and based upon Washington Irving's "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," first published in 1820. However, the story has been entirely rebuilt and re-imagined. I have made an effort to be historically accurate wherever possible, but the storytelling and the romance take precedence over the accuracy of historical detail and dialogue. The book is also not intended to perfectly replicate the topography of the actual village of Sleepy Hollow in Mount Pleasant, New York.

Book Description
A storyteller examines Irving’s “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” and the lore that inspired it, as well as other local legends of the Hudson Valley. The story of Ichabod Crane and the Headless Horseman is one of America's best-known fables, but what other stories does the Hudson Valley hold? Imps cause mischief on the Hudson River, a white lady haunts Raven Rock, Major Andre’s ghost seeks redemption and real headless Hessians search for their severed skulls. These mysterious and spooky tales from the region’s past inspired Irving and continue to captivate the imagination to this day. “Kruk has been enchanting audiences with his dramatic, enticing storytelling ability for 20 years.” —Suzanne Rothberg, Tarrytown-Sleepy Hollow Patch

Book Description
Ichabod Crane is the teacher of the community of Tarrytown, in Sleepy Hollow (literally "Hollow of Dream"), a valley on the banks of the Hudson. His antagonist is Bran Bones, a big rude man, who is also his rival in love with Katrina Van Tassel, the only daughter of a wealthy landowner. Ichabod believes he will achieve glory the day that Van Tassel invites him to a party in his "castle" ... but what he does not know is that what awaits him there is damnation, because in the enchanted forests of the "region of the Slumber "wanders the specter of the Headless Horseman," a Hessian cavalryman beheaded by a cannonball in some nameless battle of the Revolutionary War "and Ichabold will have an encounter with him that will change his fate. The classic Arthur Rackham illustrations that accompany this edition brilliantly evoke its charm, mystery and irony and were largely the visual inspiration for Tim Burton's 1999 film adaptation.

Book Description
"The Legend of Sleepy Hollow", written by Washington Irving in 1820, is among the earliest examples of American fiction still read today.The story is set circa 1790 in the Dutch settlement of Tarry Town, in a secluded glen called Sleepy Hollow. It tells the story of Ichabod Crane, a sycophantic, lean, lanky, and extremely superstitious schoolmaster from Connecticut, who competes with Abraham "Brom Bones" Van Brunt, the town rowdy, for the hand of 18-year-old Katrina Van Tassel, the daughter and sole child of a wealthy farmer, Baltus Van Tassel. As Crane leaves a party he attended at the Van Tassel home on an autumn night, he is pursued by the Headless Horseman, who is supposedly the ghost of a Hessian trooper who had his head shot off by a stray cannonball during "some nameless battle" of the American Revolutionary War, and who "rides forth to the scene of battle in nightly quest of his head". Ichabod mysteriously disappears from town, but what happens to Katrina? What about Brom Bones? Does Ichabod return?

Book Description
The legend of Sleepy Hollow is one of the great tales of American folklore, supposedly stemming from Washington Irving's famous short story. But what if there was more to the ghostly fable than meets the eye? What if Irving's account was based on fact? And what if the Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow was not unique, but merely one of a strange line of malevolent spirits sighted across the world, bringing misfortune to all that witness them? Within this book you will find long-forgotten lore about the headless spirits that have plagued mankind for centuries, and perhaps even now seek ingress into our world. The Headless Horseman, and others like him, is at large in the dark places of the world, and should one encounter such a revenant, it is said that tragedy will surely follow...
