The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (Graphic Novel) by Bo Hampton
4.0
Many have seen some tv or movie variation of this story and are familiar with the storyline. I had read it in school and even watched the movie Legend of Sleepy Hollow that came out. I liked the movie, but there is always something about a good story that always beats out the movie especially when it comes to a mystery or scary story.
The story is set in 1790 in a place called Tarry Town that is in a glen called Sleepy Hollow. We meet Ichabod Crane who is a schoolmaster and who wants to marry an 18 yr old wealthy farmers daughter, Katrina Van Tassel. However, he has some competition with Abraham Van Brunt who also wants her hand. One night there is a party where all are in attendence. When Ichabod leaves he finds he is pursued by the Headless Horseman. He is the ghost of a Hessian trooper who had his head shot off by a stray cannonball during a "nameless battle" during the American Revolutionary War. Ichabod mysteriously disappears from town after that fateful night which leaves Katrina to marry Brom Bones. The story leaves in mystery saying only that Brom would look "exceedingly knowing when the story of Ichabod was related".
This is a fun story that is wrapped in love, mystery, and legend. Definitely worth the read and being free what could be better!
