    About this ebook

    Featuring an appendix of discussion questions, the Diversion Classics edition is ideal for use in book groups and classrooms.

    When schoolteacher Ichabod Crane competes against local hero Brom Bones for Katrina Van Tassel's hand in marriage, he gets more than he bargains for. He meets the Headless Horseman—the fabled ghost of a Hessian soldier and one of the most frightening—and enduring—figures in American literature. This classic ghost story is a must-read for audiences of any age.
