Appearing in the same collection that would introduce readers to \u003cem\u003eThe Legend of Sleepy Hollow\u003c\/em\u003e, the tale helped establish Irving as the first American author to gain wide recognition on both sides of the Atlantic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlending folklore, gentle humour, and a touch of the supernatural, Irving’s story captures the uneasy feeling of waking to a world that has changed beyond recognition. More than two centuries after its first publication, \u003cem\u003eRip Van Winkle\u003c\/em\u003e endures as one of Irving’s most popular and recognizable works—an imaginative story about what it means to wake and find that the world has quietly become something new.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNearly four years in the making, Conversation Tree Press is proud to present a new edition in a beautiful, oversized format—one that does justice to the scale of Peter Meseldžija’s remarkable artistic achievement.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Conversation Tree Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44445520953387,"sku":"rvw-del","price":795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/9389\/7771\/files\/rip-van-winkle-42-2_dfcd064e-be38-439c-92d2-975522455224.jpg?v=1773027230","url":"https:\/\/conversationtreepress.com\/products\/rip-van-winkle-washington-irving-sheets","provider":"Conversation Tree Press","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
