ICHABOD CRANE FOR KIDS is Luke Hayes’ adaption of Washington Irving’s beloved classic, “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.” It tells the delightful story of Ichabod, the gangly schoolmaster of Sleepy Hollow. The gullible young man loves to listen to the ghost stories that Dutch housewives tell on stormy winter evenings. He’s particularly impressed by the story of the dreadful Headless Horseman.
Ichabod falls for the lovely Katrina Van Tassel, who’s as rich as she is beautiful. His rival is the crude, handsome farm boy, Brom Bones. After a great feast at the Van Tassel home, Ichabod has to ride home in the dark. As he goes, he whistles to hide his fear. Then he hears someone whistle back . . . and the adventure begins!
ICHABOD CRANE FOR KIDS is just right for those 6-9 year olds who want to stretch their imagination. It’s a story that they’ll come back to over and over. A true bedtime classic.
