Ichabod looks in the mirror, he sees someone charming, sophisticated, and
cultured, but what the other denizens of Sleepy Hollow see is something
completely different. "Lean and lanky, skin and bone, with clothes
a scarecrow would like to own." No one in town has ever met anyone
like the new schoolmaster, Ichabod Crane. With an ego that measures up to
his "prodigious" appetite and ungainly height, he's
sure no lady can resist his charms. That's why he settles on the lovely
Katrina, the richest, most beautiful catch in town, as the object of his
affections. He doesn't care that he's got a handsome rival for
Katrina's love: Brom Bones, Sleepy Hollow's favorite son. Ichabod's sure
that an intelligent and debonair gentleman like himself can sweep all
such contenders off the field! But when Ichabod woos Katrina on Halloween
night, he should be sure he truly has the field to himself, and that there
are no other spooky rivals for the maiden's hand. |
