The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is a short story written by Washington Irving in 1819.
It tells the story of Ichabod Crane, a timid but kind schoolteacher in 18th-century Sleepy Hollow, New York, who is deeply in love with Katrina Van Tassel. His rival is Brom Bones, who delights in telling stories of the Headless Horseman. One evening after leaving a party at the Van Tassels' house, Ichabod is pursued by the Headless Horseman, who throws something at him. The object is a pumpkin. Ichabod leaves town never to come back, and Brom marries Katrina.
Hanna-Barbera had a couple of cartoon episodes based on the story.
