A collection of short stories that explore the human experience through tales of adventure, mystery, and romance.

In the secluded glen of Sleepy Hollow, schoolmaster Ichabod Crane competes with local hero Brom Bones for the hand of Katrina Van Tassel, leading to a fateful encounter with the legendary Headless Horseman.

The story begins with a posthumous writing of Diedrich Knickerbocker, an old gentleman of New York, who shares a legendary tale of Rip Van Winkle, a man who disappears for 20 years and returns home to find that everything has changed.

The temporary absence of worldly scenes and employments produces a state of mind peculiarly fitted to receive new and vivid impressions.

Rip Van Winkle, a kind but idle villager in pre-Revolutionary America, wanders into the mountains, falls asleep for twenty years, and awakens to find a changed world.
