The Devil and Tom Walker

And Hurst of Hurstcote, by E. Nesbit

By: Washington Irving

Narrated by: B.J. Harrison

Washington Irving paints an effulgent portrait of the New England countryside as Tom Walker walks with the Devil. Would you dare to bargain with the Devil for your soul?

This audiobook also includes "Hurst of Hurstcote", by E. Nesbit. Here, a young man is so stricken by the passing of his wife that his sanity begins to stray. And, as madness spreads its paralyzing influence over him, he unearths a shocking conclusion.

Two Stories in One

This book has two stories in one. The first one: The Devil and Tom Walker is basically about greed and a deal made with the devil.

The second one is about a mans undying love for his wife, even against his friend, whom is a doctor, wishes.

Very entertaining.

Being a fan of Washington Irving's works, "The Devil and Tom Walker" was particularly enjoyable. The story and the narrator were both outstanding. I'm less familiar with the other of the follow on story, Hurst of Hurstcote, and its author, Edith Nesbit. Nesbit was apparently a socialist and lived a dissolute life. She was mainly known for writing children's stories. Although a foolish woman in her personal life, she did seem to have a talent for writing; at least, Hurst of Hurstcote was good.

Washington Irving

Two short stories done with excellent narraration. I would give these ewual rating to his other stories.

Great Bargain

Enthralling stories with wonderful narration. For less than $1, you really can't beat the deal!

Boring....

Narration excellent, but the story was boring and confusing. Was hoping for something different I guess.
