I wanted to use the character's title as a reference but totally forgot. It's a pretty popular book and I believe it was written by an American. I believe the character also had an extremely long bear too (but I could be making that up)

The name is:
Rip Van Winkle is a short story by Washington Irving published in 1819, as well as the name of the story's fictional protagonist. It was part of a collection of stories entitled The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon. The story has become a part of cultural mythology: even for those who have never read the original story, "Rip Van Winkle" means a person who is inexplicably unaware of current events.

The story is by Washing Irving and was published in 1819. Rip van Winkle only slept for 20 years, though. I hope this helps.

It's Rip Van Wrinkle. I never read the book, but I've heard of the story.

Oh-ho, everyone here is sadly misinformed! It is not Rip, but in fact Ash, from the classic Army of Darkness. Believe the majority, or listen to the my lone voice. It's your choice.
