The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
by Washington Irving
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving, a 19th-century short story set in the Dutch settlement of Sleepy Hollow, introducing Ichabod Crane and the Headless Horseman in a vignette of rural American life.
Great questions to ask
- Who is Ichabod Crane and what are his aspirations in Sleepy Hollow?
- Describe the Headless Horseman and the folklore surrounding Sleepy Hollow.
- What is the relationship between Ichabod Crane and Katrina Van Tassel?
