This book contains an adapted text of the detective and adventure novel The Headless Horseman (1865) by the outstanding Anglo-Irish-American writer Thomas Main Reid (1818-1883). The story is set in the 50s of the nineteenth century in Texas, where the family of planter Woodley Poindexter moves to. Their acquaintance with Maurice Gerald, a mustang, becomes fatal, because, despite his help to the family on the prairie, his love for Louise leads to the death of her brother.

The text is accompanied by a system of exercises aimed at checking comprehension of the content, practising and consolidating vocabulary and grammatical structures, and promoting the development of children's speech skills and creativity. The exercises are designed to meet the modern requirements of foreign language teaching methods.

The book includes a final test and an English-Ukrainian dictionary. The book is intended for students of secondary and specialised schools, gymnasiums, lyceums, as well as a wide range of readers who learn English on their own.
