The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

Presented by the Delphian Theater Department

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is based on a gothic short story by American author Washington Irving. First published in 1819, the story is set in New York in a quaint Dutch village in 1801.

The inhabitants of Sleepy Hollow are consumed by “local tales, haunted spots, and twilight superstitions” on account of the mysterious occurrences and haunting atmosphere that surround their secluded glen.

Sleepy Hollow’s most famous legend is that of the lightning-stricken tree supposedly haunted by the ghost of a horseman who served the British during the Revolutionary War.

The story begins when Ichabod Crane, the lean, lanky, and superstitious new schoolmaster, first enters town.

When the schoolteacher vies for the hand of the beautiful Katrina Van Tassel, the townsfolk might protest, but it is ultimately the horseman who will decide Ichabod’s fate.
