Förlagets beskrivning
The small village of Sleepy Hollow is anything but a rural idyll. People see apparitions, hear voices, and, worst of all, are chased by the headless horseman. When the teacher Ichabod Crane comes to the village, he eagerly wants to hear about these mysterious legends, but he soon becomes more involved than he bargained for.
Through his brilliant use of language and eerie atmosphere, Irving creates a chilling and enchanting tale that will have readers on the edge of their seats. At the same time, he explores themes of fear, paranoia, and unreality, demonstrating how simple gossip can lead to complete hysteria and panic.
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is a masterful horror story that has inspired countless writers and filmmakers over the years, and is one of the most beloved tales in American literature.
