Synopsis

Set in the secluded valley of Sleepy Hollow along New York State’s Hudson River, the narrative draws on a community steeped in superstition and local folklore. Among its most enduring tales is the Headless Horseman, said to be the ghost of a Hessian soldier who rides at night in search of his lost head.

When Ichabod Crane, an ambitious schoolmaster from Connecticut, arrives in the neighbourhood, his attention turns to Katrina Van Tassel, the daughter of a wealthy Dutch farmer, and rivalry follows. After an evening gathering at the Van Tassel farm, Ichabod vanishes without explanation, leaving behind questions that have fuelled the legend ever since. With its LEGO-built photographic scenes, this edition is presented for LEGO enthusiasts and for children and adults who enjoy Washington Irving’s writing.
