I`ve just read a
marvelous short story “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” by Washington Irving. The
author, American essayist and historian, tells astonishing story of Ichabod
Crane, who was a school teacher. The small town was full of strange, mystic
thing and events. Maybe, it had some elegant charm because of it humor, irony and,
of course, supernatural stories. Ichabod enjoys hearing the tales and his job
as a teacher allows him to spend a lot of time in the various households. Ichabod
falls in love with Katrina Van Tassel, who happens to be the only daughter of
one of the wealthier farmers in the town. Ichabod ends up in competition with
Brom Van Brunt, who is also in love with Katrina.
A few years ago I had a pleasure to enjoy the movie by Tim Burton, featuring Johny Depp as Ichabod Crane. But the original story and the one, presented by Burton are absolutely different.
