Beschreibung

Beware the Midnight Ride of the Headless Horseman!

Journey to the secluded glen of Sleepy Hollow, a place where local legends and haunting superstitions hang heavy in the air. Washington Irving's masterpiece, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, introduces us to the lanky and superstitious schoolmaster Ichabod Crane. As he vies for the hand of the wealthy Katrina Van Tassel against the formidable Brom Bones, he find himself navigating more than just a romantic rivalry.

On one fateful, moonless night, Ichabod's journey home takes a terrifying turn as he encounters the region's most infamous specter: the Headless Horseman. Is the galloping Hessian a genuine supernatural threat, or a calculated prank by a jealous rival? Irving's masterful blend of humor, atmosphere, and Gothic suspense has made this story a cornerstone of American literature.

This definitive edition captures the eerie charm and wit that have enchanted readers for over two centuries. A quintessential Halloween classic and a vivid portrait of early American life, this story remains a pulse-pounding exploration of fear and imagination.

Cross the bridge if you dare. Buy "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" today and experience the ultimate ghost story.

    When Elizabeth returns to London from Kent and meets Jane’s new suitor, her hasty refusal of Mr. Darcy’s marriage proposal gives her something to think of—especially when Mr. Darcy follows her to Hertfordshire, determined to make amends. He means to court her properly, win her heart, and marry her. 
    Likewise, Mr. Bingley vows to pursue Jane, hoping to reclaim her affection. Jane’s new suitor has other ideas about her future felicity, and his identical twin brother has more than a passing interest in Elizabeth’s love life as well. 
    All is fair in the game of love, even if fate leaves one or more of the gentlemen in question behind. Elizabeth encourages her sister to follow her heart, but will she heed her own advice?

    Little information survives on Catherine’s life. 
    She was born Amy Catherine Robbins in 1872. 
    In about 1892 she was a student in a biology cramming class where the teacher was H G Wells.  Though married he was quickly attracted to his student and within a short time they were living together in Woking, Surrey.  He then divorced his first wife and married Catherine in October 1895 at St Pancras register office. 
    In the early years they were poor to the point that they could not afford to start a family.  When they did they had two children; Philip in 1901 and Frank two years later. 
    For much of her life she seemed to pursue other interests, being a mother, a gardener, running much of her husband’s business affairs and this seemed to leave little time for her own literary pursuits.  She published little during her lifetime apart from a few poems and some short stories.  Indeed her prodigiously talented husband even referred to her as ‘Jane’ and soon all around her did too, her writing life seemingly in another personality far, far away.   
    By the mid 20’s she was ill with cancer and succumbed to its advance in 1927. 
    Wells, although wayward and promiscuous during much of the marriage, now attempted to put his wife’s literary merits into book form and published ‘The Book of Catherine Wells’, a collection of short stories and poems.
