The Devil and Tom Walker

"The Devil and Tom Walker" is a short story by Washington Irving that first appeared in his 1824 collection Tales of a Traveller, as part of the "Money-Diggers" section. The story is very similar to the German legend of Faust.
Stephen Vincent Benét drew much of his inspiration for "The Devil and Daniel Webster " from this tale.
