He goes to dinner one night at her mansion. She is a wealthy daughter of a Dutch farmer. He falls in love with the beautiful Katrina Van Tassel. Ichabod sleeps in a student's house and does very little work around the house. This tale takes place around the time of the American Revolution near Tarrytown, New York. This creative and magical novel tells the story about Ichabod Crane who is a poor school teacher and only works for 10 dollars a day. But the story clearly implies that Brom Bones was the Headless Horseman in disguise(his efficiency to ride a steed and his hearty laugh at the mention of the pumpkin). The author has left us to interpret the conclusion, where there are many possibilities for what had happened to Ichabod Crane: he could have disappeared to nearby territory or he could have killed. He who wins a thousand common hearts is therefore entitled to some renown but he who keeps undisputed sway over the heart of a coquette is indeed a hero. It is a great triumph of skill to gain the former, but a still greater proof of generalship to maintain possession of the latter, for man must battle for his fortress at every door and window. Some seem to have but one vulnerable point, or door of access while others have a thousand avenues, and may be captured in a thousand different ways. To me they have always been matters of riddle and admiration. I profess not to know how women's hearts are wooed and won. I'm citing a block below which impressed me a lot.

The detailed narration brings forth a good imagination. The author has done a good job by making the story short.
