A Beard Tangled in Dreams

The True Story of Rip Van Winkle

By: Steve Wiley

Narrated by: D Henry Hanson

Neil Gaiman meets Sigmund Freud in this imaginative retelling of the first American fairytale, Rip Van Winkle.

The original Rip Van Winkle was a modest 64 pages—quite short for a tale spanning 20 years. Why so short? None of those pages accounted for all the years that languorous legend spent asleep. There has never been a single published word of what Rip dreamt all those years, until now. Those wildest of dreams follow Rip from the furthest reaches of his mysterious past, through every enchanted forest of folklore, to a wedding without end in the future. This remarkable sailing over the Sea of Dreams reveals not only the truth behind Rip Van Winkle and his notorious slumber but the real meaning in dreams for us all.

From Fairytale Chicago author Steve Wiley comes another thought-provoking and unconventional fantasy, sure to help listeners of all ages rediscover their own inner dreamer.
