A wonderful story re told

Narrator was lively and entertaining. A great retelling of an old story. I enjoyed listening to the narrator.

Good short story

I really enjoy Washington Irving's writing. It's rich in detail and recalls a time that seems so much simpler.

B.J. Harrison is an excellent narrator for these kinds of stories. And he seems to enjoy his work, which makes listening to it that much nicer.

A wonderful short story that makes a perfect daytime companion

I listened to Rip Van Winkle while doing the dishes one evening. It’s the perfect length and a fascinating story that takes a deeper look at the worlds that existed in the Appalachian hill country right before and right after the American Revolution.

Wonderful Classic

The narration was enjoyable and you can't beet a classic Washington Irving story. The cost was inexpensive. Quick listen of an american classic.

I purchased this classic tale along with the narration.

knowing now it is indeed a classic interwoven with the birth of our nation.
