	Rip Van Winkle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rip Van Winkle is a short story by Washington Irving published in 1819, as well as the name of the story's fictional protagonist.
		The story, written while Irving was staying with his sister Sarah and her husband Henry van Wart in Birmingham, England, is set in the years before and after the American Revolutionary War.
		After various adventures (in one version of the tale, he encounters the spirits of Henry Hudson and his crew playing ninepins at the top of Kaaterskill Falls), he settles down under a shady tree and falls asleep.

	Washington Irving (April 3, 1783 - November 28, 1859) was an American author of the early 19th century.
		Irving traveled on the Western frontier in the 1830s and was one of the few 19th Century figures to speak out against the mishandling of relations with the Native American tribes by Europeans.
		Rip Van Winkle is a man who sleeps for a hundred years and wakes in a world he cannot recognize.
		The story was written overnight, while staying with his sister, her husband, Henry van Wart, and their two sons and two daughters, one of whom was his god- child, in Birmingham, England - a place which also inspired some of his other works.
