Collection Tim Burton - The Legend of Sleepy Hollo Classic Round Sticker

Washington Irving's "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" story is one of the oldest stories of American fiction read to date. He was adapted to the cinema in Tim Burton's film. The tale was published for the first time in 1820, almost two centuries ago! You've certainly heard of the legend of the Headless Horseman. His legend originated in Europe, but he has so much force that he has crossed the sea and has become part of American folklore. Indeed, in Europe the knight is known as Dullahan, which means "without a head" or beheaded in Irish. And it was exactly in Ireland that the legend began. Originally, in Ireland, where the legend began, the Horseman Without Head was a kind of fairy or spirit that was seen literally without a phantasmagoric-looking head always mounted on a black horse and carrying his head under his arm. According to legends, he's always running with his horse, and when he stops running, it means someone's going to die. When that happens, the head under the arm announces the victim's name, and from there there is nothing that can be done to avoid the dark fate. It is said that the Horseman Without Head has a weak point: the gold. He'll run away when he realizes the existence of even the smallest piece of gold. The reason for this is a mystery. This legend was the origin of various legends that were American and was the inspiration for countless tales and also several films. Among the films, the most prominent is the one launched in 1999, directed by Tim Burton and has Johnny Depp in the role of Detective Ichabod Crane, who is investigating mysterious murders allegedly committed by the legendary figure of the Headless Horseman.
