This is my favorite Tim Burton movie, and also my favorite Johnny Depp movie. I love everything about the dark, leaf-covered village of Sleepy Hollow, but I also like the beginning of the film, which shows New York City just on the edge of the 19th Century. And Christopher Lee mercilessly sending Ichabod out alone to bring the murderer of Sleepy Hollow to justice.
This book is large, with big production stills from the movie, original production drawings and the complete, original script, which shows changes from the page to what made it into the movie. Some are small changes, others would have given Ichabod more information along the way. There's also an introduction by Burton about how the Irving story inspired him.
