内容简介
Rip Van Winkle is an idler who would rather starve for a penny than work for a pound, and his wife is constantly nagging him. In search of peace, Rip heads off to the woods one day with his faithful dog, Wolf. High up in the Catskill Mountains, Rip meets an unusual group of little men. He drinks their strong beverage and falls into a deep sleep. When he awakens, he finds that twenty years have passed - the world has changed and so has he. With vibrant paintings by Leonard Everett Fisher, Eric A. Kimmel's adaptation of Washington Irving's classic "Rip Van Winkle" introduces a Rip who reforms as a result of his experience.
