Description

The horse is perfect in all its partsā€”a splendid steed, saddled, bridled, and otherwise completely caparisoned. In it there appears nothing amissā€”nothing to produce either wonder or alarm. But the manā€”the rider? Ah! About him there is something to cause bothā€”something weirdā€”something wanting!

By heavens! it is the head! (Excerpt from the Prologue)

The Headless Horseman is a novel by Mayne Reid written in 1865 or 1866 and is based on the author's adventures in the United States. The Headless Horseman or a Strange Tale of Texas was set in Texas and based on a South Texas folk tale.

Vladimir Nabokov recalled The Headless Horseman as a favourite adventure novel of his childhood years - "which had given him a vision of the prairies and the great open spaces and the overarching sky." At 11, Nabokov even translated The Headless Horseman into French alexandrines.(Summary from Wikipedia)
