Produktbeschreibung

What if a single midnight ride could decide whether legends are real-or you become one?

In this definitive, reader-friendly translation, Washington Irving's quintessential American ghost story comes alive with crisp contemporary language while preserving every ounce of 1820 charm. Follow lanky, book-loving Ichabod Crane as he navigates barnyard feasts, spirited country dances, and jealous pranks-unaware that each footstep draws him closer to the Horseman's thunderous gallop.

What You'll Discover Inside:

• America's First Great Horror Icon - The origin of the Headless Horseman that still haunts pop culture today.
• Rich Hudson Valley Lore - Dutch superstitions, Revolutionary War echoes, and autumnal atmosphere distilled for modern readers.
• Timeless Themes - Vanity, desire, and the power of rumor explored through lively characters.
• Historical Notes & Discussion Guide - Context, questions, and prompts ideal for classrooms or book clubs.
• Illustrated Glossary - Colonial terms and customs explained at a glance.

Will Ichabod ever reach the other side of the bridge-or has his fate already been written in hoofprints and flame?
