Rip Van Winkle As Played By Joseph Jefferson is a book written by Washington Irving in 1895. The book is a retelling of the classic American short story, Rip Van Winkle, which was originally published in 1819. The story follows the life of Rip Van Winkle, a man who falls asleep in the Catskill Mountains and wakes up 20 years later to find that the world has changed dramatically. The book is unique in that it includes notes and commentary from Joseph Jefferson, a famous American actor who played the role of Rip Van Winkle on stage for over 40 years. Jefferson provides insights into the character of Rip Van Winkle and the challenges of bringing the story to life on stage. The book also includes illustrations by F. O. C. Darley, a prominent American illustrator of the time. The illustrations help to bring the story to life and provide a visual representation of the characters and settings.Overall, Rip Van Winkle As Played By Joseph Jefferson is a fascinating look at one of America's most beloved stories and the impact it had on popular culture.
