It has a time-travel motif and with odd plot twists- and a lengthy beard- seems to be the sort of thing, like Father Time, that has a timeless quality. there are different versions- a nice toned down one was on The Flintstones- Fred passes out after a construction accident and falls asleep under a magic tree- in the Flintstones variant- the sequence of events is milder than in Irvings, after a long interval, Wilma remarries- ( in Rip Van Winkle, his wife dies) Rip slept through the revolution- no war was involved in the Flintstone tale. I kind of liked the Flintstone variant better than the original!
