Book Review 7

I read "Rip van Winkle" written by Washington Irving last week. I studied about Washington Irving in literary history class, but I don't know well about him. So, I thought I want to read his book.
In the year 1765, Rip van Winkle lived in a village at the foot of the Catskill mountains. He was very simple and kind man, but his wife was very unkind to him, but he did not get angry with her. Rip didn't like work, so he went outside with his dog, Wolf. They went away into the forest. One afternoon, Rip went on and on through the forest till he came to the foot of one of the highest Catskill mountains. Rip sat on the little grassy hill and looked at the river, after the time, he fell asleep. When he woke, there were already dark around him. He overslept, and he tried to go back home quickly. But the village was changed, it was bigger, more people in it, many houses he had never seen before, and the old houses that he knew were gone. He couldn't believe about this, and looked for his family. This story is countinue a little more, but it's quite difficult for me to understand, so I should read this again.
