who is the author of the legend of sleepy hollow
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" is a horror story by American author Washington Irving, contained in his collection of 34 essays and short stories entitled The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent.. Written while Irving was living abroad in Birmingham, England, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" was first published in 1820. Along with Irving's companion piece "Rip Van Winkle", "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" is among the earliest examples of American fiction with enduring popularity, especially during Halloween because of a character known as the Headless Horseman believed to be a Hessian soldier who lost his head to a cannonball in battle.[1]
Sleepy Hollow (film) Rudin believed Britain offered the level of craftsmanship in period detail, painting and costuming that was suitable for the film's design.[22] Having directed Batman entirely in Britain, Burton agreed, and designers from Batman's art department were employed by Paramount for Sleepy Hollow.[11] As a result, principal photography was pushed back[23] to November 20, 1998 at Leavesden Film Studios, which had been recently vacated by Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace.[20] The majority of filming took place at Leavesden, with studio other work at Shepperton Studios,[6] where the massive Tree of the Dead set was built using Stage H.[8] Production then moved to the Hambleden estate at Lime Tree Valley for a month-long shoot in March, where the town of Sleepy Hollow was constructed.[6] "We came to England figuring we would find a perfect little town," producer Adam Schroeder recalled, "and then we had to build it anyway." Filming in Britain continued through April,[6] and a few last minute scenes were shot using a sound stage in Yonkers, New York the following May.[7][24]
