The leaves crunch, a full moon glows, and a tall, skinny schoolteacher named Ichabod Crane hurries home on a borrowed horse. Suddenly he hears hoofbeats behind him in the dark, and turns to see a rider with no head at all! This spooky scene comes from \"The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,\" one of America's most famous stories.  \nThe man who dreamed up that headless rider was a writer named Washington  \nIrving. He published \"The Legend of Sleepy Hollow\" in 1820, back when the United States was still a young country. Did you know he was one of the first American writers to become truly famous in Europe? People across the ocean loved his tales, which proved that American authors could write books the whole world wanted to read.  \nIn the story, Ichabod Crane is a nervous schoolteacher who believes in ghosts and every kind of superstition. He falls for a pretty girl named Katrina, but a strong local fellow named Brom Bones wants to marry her too. The tale is spun as a legend, the kind of story villagers whisper by the fire, about a ghostly Headless Horseman who supposedly gallops through the woods at night. Irving never tells you for certain whether the Horseman was real or just a clever trick.  \nThat mysterious ending is one reason the story caught on and never faded away. Over the years it has been turned into books, cartoons, and movies, and the Headless Horseman shows up on Halloween decorations everywhere. Because of Irving, a headless rider on horseback has become one of the most recognizable spooky characters in America.  \nHere is the best part: Sleepy Hollow is a real town, sitting on the Hudson River a short drive north of New York City. Long ago it was called North Tarrytown, but in 1996 the residents voted to rename it Sleepy Hollow after the famous story. Every autumn, visitors flock there to enjoy the legend, and Washington Irving himself is buried in a cemetery in that very town. So the writer who invented the Headless Horseman now rests in the same sleepy village he made famous forever.  \nThe Legend of Sleepy Hollow  \nName:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) Where does the story of \"The Legend of Sleepy Hollow\" take place?\u003Cbr>A.
