Read, William Patterson and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "La Legendo de Dorm-Valeto" by Washington Irving is a classic short story collection written in the early 19th century. The story is set in a tranquil valley called Sleepy Hollow and revolves around the curious and superstitious inhabitants, particularly focusing on the character Ichabod Crane, a schoolteacher with an interest in the supernatural. The tale unfolds in a richly atmospheric backdrop filled with local folklore, ghostly legends, and the eerie presence of a headless horseman. The opening of the story establishes the serene yet mystical ambiance of Sleepy Hollow, describing its peaceful landscape and the peculiar traits of its residents, who are descendants of Dutch settlers steeped in superstition. It introduces Ichabod Crane, a lanky and timid schoolmaster who moves to the valley to teach. The description of his school, the community dynamics, and his interactions with local families sets the scene for his romantic pursuits and the conflicts he faces, particularly with Brom Van Brunt, another local suitor vying for the attention of Katrina Van Tassel. The combination of humor, folklore, and the inevitable encounter with supernatural elements foreshadows the eerie adventures that are yet to unfold. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
