THE LEGEND OF SLEEPY HOLLOW
His appetite for the marvelous, and his powers of digesting it, were equally extraordinary.
― Washington Irving, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
Written by American author Washington Irving, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is a gothic novel with themes such as greed, battle, and supernatural- among others.
Sleepy Hollow is a little town renowned for being hunted. Residents say the town was bewitched in the early days of the Dutch Settlement there or that the town s haunting atmosphere was brought by an old Native American Chief, the wizard of his tribe before the country s discovery. The most notorious of the phantoms in the Hollow is called the Headless Horseman, who s said to be the ghost of a trooper whose head was blown off by a stray cannonball. He supposedly rides forth to the scene of the battle in nightly quest of his head
In this same town, men named Ichabod Crane and Abraham Brom Bones Van Brunt compete for the hand of Katrina Van Tassel, the daughter and only child of the richest man in town. Crane seeks to marry Katrina for her father s riches. Bones, the local hero, cannot go into a physical showdown with Crane, deals with him by playing pranks on the superstitious man.
The tension among the three was brought to a head when the Van Tassels held a harvest party. Ambitious Crane was invited and went intending to propose to Katrina by the end of the feast. In the event, he danced, ate, and listened to the ghostly legends told by Bones.

Somehow, somewhere, a spooky pumpkin finds its way into this story.
