Bony schoolteacher created by
Washington Irving in "
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow". Ichabod was
tall,
skinny, and
unattractive. He also had a big
ego and was very
proud of his
education. He believed that his
intelligence entitled him to the
hand of the
lovely Katrina Van Tassel, rather than the
burly Brom Bones. He scoffed at the
legend of
the Headless Horseman, but he soon learned the
error of his ways...
