«La leyenda de Sleepy Hollow» is the gothic horror tale by Washington Irving, published by Celeste in paperback (54 pages, in Spanish).
In the valley of Sleepy Hollow, a place where superstitions and ghost stories coexist, the schoolmaster Ichabod Crane rivals the local hero for the favor of Katrina Van Tassel. After an autumn party, his path crosses with the Headless Horseman, the apparition of a Hessian soldier decapitated during the War of Independence.
The original tale, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, was first published in 1820; this Spanish edition came out in 1999.
For readers of classic literature and fans of gothic horror and ghost stories.
Washington Irving was an American short-story writer, essayist, biographer, historian, and diplomat of the early 19th century. He wrote the short stories "Rip Van Winkle" (1819) and "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" (1820), both of which appear in his collection The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent. His historical works include biographies of Oliver Goldsmith, Muhammad, and George Washington, as well as several histories of 15th-century Spain that deal with subjects such as the Alhambra, Christopher Columbus, and the Moors. Irving served as the American ambassador to Spain in the 1840s.
