The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

I read this book. I studied about author in "English literary history" . The author is Washington Irving. Characters are Ichabod Crane, Katrina Van Tassel and Brom Bones. Ichabod teaches Katrina to singing. Brom is the hero of Sleepy Hollow. And he also Ichabod's big rival. Two man compete to marry her.
But finally Ichabod lose. And he die. He lost his head. "Headless Man" There is a legend of "Headless Man" in Sleepy Hollow. It's a story of headless horseman. He gallops on his black horse and follows us. So Ichabod was killed the " headless horseman".
I think it's story is not so interesting. But my teacher of English literary history. She had been visit the Sleepy Hollow.
