The Story 

"The great error in Rip's composition was an insuperable aversion to all kinds of profitable labour."

To this day, whenever thunder is heard we know the men in the mountains must be playing nine-pins. Such is the legacy of Rip Van Winkle, a story showing how much changes and just how quickly time passes. Rip is endearingly remembered through his idleness - so much so that twenty years passed without him moving!

I'm sure most of us can relate to Rip's "aversion to profitable labour" along with the desire for a long nap. Our bookish print uses an illustration from the original text alongside a Rip Van Winkle quote to reflect this humour. This results in a vintage book poster perfect for readers and book lovers looking for literary gifts to curate an authentic bookish decor experience that stays true to the themes of this literary classic. 

Our bookish art uses dark cottagecore themes to create a whimsical fairy tale book poster - a book lovers gift for any reading nook.

Take Washington Irving's Rip Van Winkle beyond the shelf with our literary poster. This book cover art print adds relaxation to any home décor - a great bookish gift for the book nook of book lovers!
