Washington Irving's Rip Van Winkle follows a good-natured villager who wanders into the hills, encounters strange companions, and awakes decades later to a changed world. The story explores time, memory, and the gentle tension between past and present through folklore and subtle humor.
This SeaStar hardcover reproduces 31 watercolors by Arthur Rackham, whose early-20th-century illustrations add atmospheric detail and whimsical darkness to Irving's narrative. Rackham's art complements the tale's blend of wonder and small-town life.
