This podcast is a collection of children's stories from Collier's "Greatest Short Stories" originally copyrighted in 1915. meant as a training-ground for audiobook narration, and is edited using "Anchor", and nothing else. This is my first attempt at a podcast, and as such, is riddled with errors-- though those should be expected to wane as time goes on. If you can enjoy the stories despite my blunderings, please feel free to subscribe and rate high enough that others might choose to take a listen as well. This project is sponsor-free, without ads.

    Rip Van Winkle

    This is a reading of Washington Irving's, "Rip Van Winkle," narrated by Jarom Ruby.  "Rip Van Winkle" is a short story by the American author Washington Irving, first published in 1819. It follows a Dutch-American villager in colonial America named Rip Van Winkle who meets mysterious Dutchmen, imbibes their liquor and falls asleep in the Catskill Mountains. He awakes 20 years later to a very changed world, having missed the American Revolution. Inspired by a conversation on nostalgia with his American expatriate brother-in-law, Irving wrote the story while temporarily living in Birmingham, England. It was published in his collection, The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent. While the story is set in New York's Catskill Mountains near where Irving later took up residence, he admitted, "When I wrote the story, I had never been on the Catskills." --Wikipedia.org I apologize for the technical difficulties that produced a lower quality recording towards the end.
