In the Washington Irving story, Rip Van Winkle partakes in some boozy fun in the Catskill Mountains in New York, then falls asleep for 20 years, waking to find the world completely changed. That story was a fantasy tale.
Today we have the true story of a woman who, like old Rip, fell asleep one night in 1936 and didn't wake up until 1948 to a world turned upside down.
Thanks for listening to our stories!

Adriana Trigiana in her novel Big Stone Gap had her protagonist Ave Maria fell into an extended sleep after her mother's death. It was glossed over in the film but the logistics of it really bothered me when I read the novel.
