Rip Van Winkle

Anjelica Huston narrates this haunting early American tale from Washington Irving following the likable but lazy Rip Van Winkle into the mysterious Catskill Mountains. There he meets a band of odd fellows playing a game of ninepins. After sharing a flagon of strange brew, Rip falls into a deep sleep for 20 years. When he wakes up, he finds that his home is a very different place indeed. This story is a wonderful reminder about making the most of your life. Original music by Jay Ungar and Molly Mason. Ages five and up. Part of the award-winning Rabbit Ears series of stories, American Heroes and Legends.

Beautiful Music and Narration

The music was very complementary to the story, giving it a very nostalgic and haunting feel, the narrator did an excellent job, and the story was very enjoyable and well written!
