Book excerpt: 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 Synopsis The Horseman of Sleepy Hollow by : Rebecca F Kenney
Download or read book The Horseman of Sleepy Hollow written by Rebecca F Kenney and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-09-13 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 excerpt: In this atmospheric, terrifying novel that draws strongly from "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," the author of Alice and The Girl in Red works her trademark magic, spinning an engaging and frightening new story from a classic tale. Everyone in Sleepy Hollow knows about the Horseman, but no one really believes in him. Not even Ben Van Brunt's grandfather, Brom Bones, who was there when it was said the Horseman chased the upstart Crane out of town. Brom says that's just legend, the village gossips talking. More than thirty years after those storied events, the village is a quiet place. Fourteen-year-old Ben loves to play "Sleepy Hollow boys," reenacting the events Brom once lived through. But then Ben and a friend stumble across the headless body of a child in the woods near the village, and the discovery makes Ben question everything the adults in Sleepy Hollow have ever said. Could the Horseman be real after all? Or does something even more sinister stalk the woods?
