Summary

Actress Glenn Close reads Washington Irving's eerie tale of romantic rivalry along the Hudson. The story pits the new schoolmaster Ichabod Crane against the local hero and bully, Brom Bones, for the hand of Katrina Van Tassel. This haunting drama climaxes with the appearance of one of the great, legendary ghosts of all time: the headless horseman. Music by Tim Story amplifies Close's spellbinding reading. This spirited adaptation reflects all the wit, fun, and drama of the early American classic. Ages six and up. Part of the award-winning Rabbit Ears series, Holiday Classics.
