you're unlikely to find Rip Van Winkle as a book on its own - it's a short story, so you'll probably either need to find the text online, or look for it in an anthology of some sort. It's an interesting choice of excerpt - definitely fits with the song, I just think it's sort of neat to see what parts they decided NOT to include (it's the better part of a paragraph, but leaves out a few lines).
