In the secluded Dutch territory of Sleepy Hollow, nebbish schoolmaster Ichabod Crane competes with the town hero for the hand of Katrina Van Tassel, the 18-year-old daughter and sole child of a wealthy farmer. As Crane leaves a party at the Van Tassel's farm one autumn evening, he is pursued by the Headless Horseman, an apparition said to be the ghost of a Hessian trooper snuffed out by a stray cannonball.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 133
During the bleak winter of 1692 in the rigid Puritan community of Salem Village, Massachusetts, a group of young girls began experiencing violent fits, allegedly tormented by Satan and the witches who worshipped him. From the girls' initial denouncing of an Indian slave, the accusations soon multiplied. In less than two years, 19 men and women were hanged, one was pressed to death, and over a hundred others were imprisoned and impoverished. This evenhanded and now-classic history illuminates the horrifying episode with visceral clarity.

A new take on the Witch Trials
Revisado: 02-17-15
Would you listen to A Delusion of Satan again? Why?
Absolutely. In fact, I have had to listen to parts more closely a second time since I was driving while listening and needed to pay more attention.
What did you like best about this story?
I really enjoyed the different lens that Ms. Hill looks through to see the Witch Trials. Instead of looking at the more salacious details or the religious aspect, Ms Hill looks at the Witch Trials through the political and sociological values and events at the time. Ms. Hill is an historian, and her attention to detail comes through. I was fascinated throughout.
Which scene was your favorite?
I particularly enjoyed the wry descriptions of the girl's behavior during the trials.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Don't blame the Devil, Blame the Putnams
Any additional comments?
The narrator was wonderful, articulating clearly and at a good pace.
