Sleepy hollow

Washington Irving is the Father of American Literature and the first professional writer in the United States. His famous “Legend of the Sleepy Poster” - the story of the mysterious horseman without a head - brought the author of worldwide fame and inspired the cult director of Tim Burton to the film, the main roles in which Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci played. Mystically - Gothic novels of Irving are fascinating, scared, but most importantly - are read in one breath. The life of his heroes resembles a nightmare that cannot end in any way: they meet ghosts and spirits, look for damned treasures, roam in gloomy forests and valleys, mysteriously disappear and conclude a deal with the devil himself. And most importantly - they are desperately trying to understand where the dream ends and the reality begins.
