Legend of Sleepy Hollow (Troll Illustrated Classics)

But The Legend of Sleepy Hollow offers more than a mere ghost story, providing readers with an excellent social commentary about how people lived outside the cities and circles of politics in the early 19th century.A superstitious schoolmaster has a terrifying encounter with a headless horseman
