Im enjoying reading the story of RIP VAN WINKLE.The real and imaginary are always togetherin the life of a man who sleep during 20 years.
ReplyDeleteIrving had a special talent for creating a magical fairytale quality in his tales. So he was among the first American writers who gained an international reputation by writing short stories. His gentle humor enchant many readers as I am enchanted with this his tale...
ReplyDeleteHi Beatriz and Dayana,
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are enjoying Rip Van Winkle. It is an amazing story indeed. And very funny, too! The author's description of the relationship between Rip Van Winkle and his wife is hilarious. And it sounds very familiar, too. I bet you know some people like them, don't you? ;)
