THE DEVIL AND TOM WALKER by WASHINGTON I...

About this episode

This tongue-in-cheek tale of a greedy man who makes a deal with the devil to broker a pirate's treasure by becoming a stingy moneylender is a Washington Irving classic, complete with a number of twists and lots of sardonic humor. We offer a biography of Washington Irving in the beginning, along with three sponsor messages, all of which are completed before our story begins.
