About this listen

Originally published in 1888, this short piece by Richard Garnett offers the reader a light-hearted approach to Lucifer becoming the Pope for a day, after approaching a young man, who would grow up to become Pope Sylvester II, and offering to purchase his soul.

Most amusing! The Pope hands the reigns of the church to The Devil for 12 hours.... amusing - if you can get past the appalling narration!

Lovely funny tale!
