<P> `` Rip Van Winkle '' is set in the years before and after the American Revolutionary War . In a pleasant village , at the foot of New York 's Catskill Mountains , lives kindly Rip Van Winkle , a Dutch villager. Van Winkle enjoys solitary activities in the wilderness or hanging out at the inn with his friends . He is loved by all in the town , especially the children to whom he tells stories or for whom he repairs toys . However , he tends to shirk hard work , to his nagging wife 's dismay , which has caused his home and farm to fall into disarray . </P>
