- This week, our Tale is 'Rip Van Winkle' by Washington Irving. While it draws on a variety of old stories and fairy tales which give it a timeless quality, it was written in 1819, and although it is set in the Catskills, Irving had never actually been to them before he penned his tale.

Martin Luther King Jr.:
“I am sure that most of you have read that arresting little story from the pen of Washington Irving entitled "Rip Van Winkle." The one thing that we usually remember about the story is that Rip Van Winkle slept twenty years. But there is another point in that little story that is almost completely overlooked. It was the sign in the Inn, from which Rip went up in the mountain for his long sleep.
When Rip Van Winkle went up into the mountain, the sign had a picture of King George the Third of England. When he came down twenty years later the sign had a picture of George Washington, the first president of the United States. When Rip Van Winkle looked up at the picture of George Washington-and looking at the picture he was amazed-he was completely lost. He knew not who he was.
And this reveals to us that the most striking thing about the story of Rip Van Winkle is not merely that Rip slept twenty years, but that he slept through a revolution. While he was peacefully snoring up in the mountain a revolution was taking place that at points would change the course of history-and Rip knew nothing about it. He was asleep. Yes, he slept through a revolution. And one of the great liabilities of life is that all too many people find themselves living amid a great period of social change, and yet they fail to develop the new attitudes, the new mental responses, that the new situation demands. They end up sleeping through a revolution.”
Brilliantly told, brilliantly read.
Thoroughly enjoyed.
Thankyou!
Nicely done! I read this many decades ago, and didn’t understand it like I do now (the history of Dutch settlements and the American Revolution). Thank you for your excellent work!
This is a thrilling and ageless classic that should be read by everyone of the literati class who is in search of a tranquil shade to amuse his/her melancholic spirits. A great work.
Last time I heard this was some 25 years ago as a little girl my grandmother read to me from a book of fairytales with the most beautiful illustrations. Rip Van Winkle was my favourite it really captured my imagination. But in that version the men he met in the mountains where dwarves or elves. Anyway I really enjoyed your narration. Thanks for the trip down memory lane! 💗🙂
Wonderful story. When I am hunting on a hill in Mechlinburg County in Virginia, I often think of that tale. I believe I know Dame Van Winkel first hand.
Ahhh, the coziest narrator ever. As welcome as a faithful pair of billy boots and a well-thumbed pipe. Well done, sir.
We're reading this for my American Literature class.
Fun fact from printouts handed out from our instructor to supplement the lesson: Washington Irving is credited with being the first American to make a living as a writer.
My sister and I watched rip van winkle as kids in the 80s..it was a marionette movie and to this this day we still cannot find it anywhere..it was late 70s early 80s..it must of been one of a kind😒

A lazy husband was the man Rip; Shiftless and unkempt a bottle to nip; Up to the mountains he went; Asleep twenty years his time was spent; Returned a venerated old man from his trip.
Can you do Aiden O’ Malley next?
Is his real name John Marston?
Awesome reading! Very clear and expressive voice. Thank you so much! I'm prepared for my exam now :D
Who are you? Rip van winkle.. hmm
Thank you!
Thank you 🌹
I don’t find any of these old stories dated , they are still true , we are demoralized.
Oh please
@@David-qe9np fool
Listen to DUNE , so called modern
Yet when the kalergie “ Kabbalist “ plan is literally showed to you , you deny the Alexander Dugan and Yuri Bezenoff plans
It’s really amazing how only Goerbels, George Lincoln Rockwell and Pastor Wickstrom can see what is so obvious to Barbra Spector and Ben gurian
But , these college educated quasi intellectuals can only say oh please
Wow , that’s demographics and demoralizing
Must be GOD
Only GOD , could do this
Straight outta the Bible
Blind the masses for his ???
It’s beginning to look a lot like eugenics, a Soviet gulag

We all know that his real name is

You mean Jim Milton
Thank you :^)
Rip falls asleep a loyal subject of King George III and wakes up a free citizen of the United States. A terrible beauty is born.
Terrible beauty?
Hey 👋🏽
Hey
Steep
William Butler Yeats wrote, Ireland had "changed, changed utterly: a terrible beauty is born." The victims themselves sensed that theirs was a blood sacrifice that presaged rebirth and renewal, that their deaths might some day be seen as the secular incarnation of a sacred season
I really enjoyed this, thank you. But there were a lot of skips than in my story where full paragraphs, words and sentences were cut out. It was extremly irritating.
Same but same message
It’s seems from my version, you miss several sentences
Well read, but the text is incomplete.
Excellent, Robert 👍🏽
He sounds alot like Jim Milton
I was not expecting Robert from in deep geek! Holy crap!
I remember the story as a kid but the story I heard had music in the background and it had dwarves giving him some kind of drink that put him to sleep for 20 years.
Where is that version?
Thank you. But i don't understand why you omit any sentence or paragraph that describes Dame Van Winkle as a tyrant or Van himself as a hen-pecked husband?
When you fall asleep for five minutes in class:
This is so helpful. Thank you! :)
I'm looking for the "Raven" at Patreon, but do not see it...Great reading Robert!!!
I just knew about this
Do Tacitus Kilgore next
I really like how this is read, but I was looking for an unabridged reading, so I must sadly look elsewhere. ☹️
I think this is the unabridged, original version.
Thank you.
One of my life's task. Gracia
Never heard this story first time, report back in the comments after
Pretty good, though I think the moral of the story is lost to me
👌👌👌
Dang…
rip van winkle was the first alien abduction lol
I like the Rip Van Flintstones version better.
noice you should show your patrons at the end of your vids
Are you Phillip Schofield?
You the bloke that has the lord of the rings channel?

It is incomprehensible to me that the reader is so besotted with WOKE ideology that he actually edits out sentences from this masterpiece! God save us from the woke crowd!
This sounds horrible and sound that time runs life runs
