Dana--I had to do a study on Rumple. It's a thoroughly American tale back when the Dutch ruled New York and the Hudson Valley. There are a lot of interesting tid bits in the story that explain that it is NOW (20 years later after R. fell asleep) a New Country and not a colony of England. It's good stuff.
