The Legend of Sleepy Hollow / Washington IRVING 

Public ISBD Titre : The Legend of Sleepy Hollow : and Other Scary Stories Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Washington IRVING, Auteur ; Edgar Allan POE , Arthur CONAN DOYLE, Auteur Editeur : Harrap's Année de publication : 2019 Collection : YES YOU CAN! Importance : 128 ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-2-8187-0692-3 Langues : Français (fre) Catégories : Littérature Anglaise Mots-clés : Horror story, fantastic. Index. décimale : 820 Littérature anglaise Résumé : The protagonist of the story, Ichabod Crane, is a Yankee schoolteacher who lives in Sleepy Hollow, a Dutch enclave on the Hudson River. A suggestible man, Crane believes the ghost stories and tales of witchcraft he has heard and read. He is particularly impressed by the tale of a spectral headless horseman said to haunt the area. Crane is also mercenary; he courts Katrina Van Tassel mostly because she is the daughter of a rich farmer and is expected to receive a large inheritance. Abraham Van Brunt (also called Brom Bones) is Crane’s jealous rival, a local favourite and a rash horseman who often plays tricks on the schoolmaster. Late one night as Ichabod Crane rides home from a party at Katrina’s home, he is suddenly frightened by a ghostlike headless horseman. The ghost pursues him and hurls at him a round object that he takes to be a head but is later revealed to have been a pumpkin. The schoolmaster is never seen in Sleepy Hollow again.
