The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and other stories  Cover Image Book Book

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and other stories / Washington Irving ; illustrated by Scott McKowen.

Summary:

Collection of four stories of strange and unexplainable circumstances. A headless horseman haunts Sleep Hollow. At least that's the legend in the tiny village of Tarrytown. But scary stories won't stop the town's new schoolmaster, Ichabod Crane, from crossing through the Hollow, especially when the beautiful Katrina lives on the other side. Will Ichabod win over his beloved or discover that the legend of Sleepy Hollow is actually true? Also, Rip Van Winkle is surprised by what he sees and doesn't see after waking up from a long slumber; a young bride in The Specter Bridegroom might become a widow before the night is over; and the miser of The Devil and Tom Walker makes a deal he'll regret.
