The Legend of Sleepy Hollow: An Illustrated Classic Tale of the Headless Horseman, Retold for Kids Ages 7-12 Washington , (Paperback)

Deep in a hidden valley in the hills of New York, where the brook murmurs and mist curls along the ground, there is a place called Sleepy Hollow. Here, the air feels enchanted, and on dark autumn nights, a terrible figure rides the roads-a massive soldier on a midnight steed with only empty air where his head should be.<br>Into this valley comes <b>Ichabod Crane</b>, the most gloriously awkward schoolmaster in the state. He is tall, thin, and endlessly hungry-not just for the delicious pies of the beautiful Katrina Van Tassel, but for terrifying local folklore. With a head absolutely crammed with ghost stories, every rustling hedge becomes a monster.<br>But Ichabod isn't alone. Standing in his way is the mischievous Brom Bones. And ahead, on the dark road home after the harvest party, something waits in the shadows by the brook.<br>This gorgeously illustrated retelling of Washington Irving's immortal 1820 American classic brings one of literature's most beloved ghost stories to life for a new generation of young readers. Written in rich, atmospheric language that respects children's intelligence and rewards their imagination, and brought to life across 46 Victorian pen and ink illustrations, this is a book to be read aloud by firelight, shared at bedtime, and returned to again and again. <p><b>Because the best ghost stories are the ones that make you look over your shoulder.</b> <b>Even after you've closed the book.</b></p><ul><li>Richly detailed retelling of Washington Irving's original 1820 masterpiece</li><li><b>46 </b>Victorian-style pen and ink illustrations</li><li>Written for independent readers and family read-aloud</li><li>Ideal for Halloween, autumn, and year-round adventure reading</li><li>A perfect introduction to American gothic folklore and classic literature</li><li>Supports imagination, vocabulary development, and a love of storytelling</li></ul><i>Based on The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving, first published 1820.
