Description of Ichabod Crane:

Ichabod Crane, the itinerant schoolteacher of Sleepy Hollow, less a character than a caricature, grotesque in his physical appearance. He is very tall, with narrow shoulders and long arms that dangle out of his sleeves; his feet are so large that they might have served as shovels. He has a small flat head, with large ears and a long snipe nose..” Ichabod’s most basic characteristic is his great hunger; Knickerbocker says he has the dilating power of an anaconda and seems able to swallow up everything placed before him.
