The Legend of Sleepy Hollow: Washington Irving's Iconic American Ghost Story - The Headless Horseman Rides
(eBook)
Description
What if a single midnight ride could decide whether legends are real-or you become one? In this definitive, reader-friendly translation, Washington Irving's quintessential American ghost story comes alive with crisp contemporary language while preserving every ounce of 1820 charm. Follow lanky, book-loving Ichabod Crane as he navigates barnyard feasts, spirited country dances, and jealous pranks-unaware that each footstep draws him closer to the Horseman's thunderous gallop. What You'll Discover Inside: - America's First Great Horror Icon - The origin of the Headless Horseman that still haunts pop culture today. - Rich Hudson Valley Lore - Dutch superstitions, Revolutionary War echoes, and autumnal atmosphere distilled for modern readers. - Timeless Themes - Vanity, desire, and the power of rumor explored through lively characters. - Historical Notes & Discussion Guide - Context, questions, and prompts ideal for classrooms or book clubs. - Illustrated Glossary - Colonial terms and customs explained at a glance. - Will Ichabod ever reach the other side of the bridge-or has his fate already been written in hoofprints and flame?
