La leyenda de Sleepy Hollow

Ichabod Crane, a humble schoolmaster with ambitions of moving up in the world, is sent to Sleepy Hollow, a remote valley in New York state with a rich legacy of fantastic supernatural legends, particularly the Headless Horseman who roams the area at night. His decision to court young Katrina Van Tassel, the beautiful daughter of a well-todo farmer, brings him into conflict with another one of her suitors, Abraham ‘Brom Bones’ Van Brunt, a rough local youth who will try to prevent Ichabod from realizing his desire to climb the social ladder. This rivalry will result in an outcome that is as mysterious as it is hair raising.

The best known of Washington Irving’s tales, magnificently illustrated by Antonio Lorente, who adopts a more Gothic, yet also painterly, quality.
