"The Devil and Tom Walker" is a short story by Washington Irving that first appeared in his 1824 collection Tales of a Traveller,[1] in "The Money-Diggers" part of volume II. The story is very similar to the German legend of Faust.
The story inspired other tales, including Wilhelm Hauff's "Heart of Stone" (1827),[2] and Stephen Vincent Benét's "The Devil and Daniel Webster" (1936).
