About this listen

What happens when a man simply steps away for a quiet walk in the mountains—only to return and find the world utterly changed?

Rip Van Winkle by Washington Irving is a timeless reflection on time, identity, and the curious comforts of doing nothing in particular. Set against the misty ridges of the Catskills, this gently magical tale offers more than a rustic legend—it's a sly meditation on escape, transformation, and the odd persistence of character. With prose as crisp as autumn air and wit as dry as a weathered tavern sign, Irving captures the peculiar feeling of waking from one world into another.

A story for those who've ever lost track of time—and for those who've secretly wished they could.
