Summary: "A Deal with the Devil" by Eden Phillpotts is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Daniel Dolphin, a man celebrating his hundredth birthday, who makes a fateful pact with the Devil for an additional ten years of life, promising to grow younger instead of older.

On his birthday, he shares a humorous and unsettling dream featuring the Devil, who offers him a chance to extend his life by ten years in exchange for his soul. As Daniel contemplates this offer, Martha expresses her concern about the sinister consequences that may arise. Following the dream, Daniel discovers a formal agreement that suggests the pact is indeed real, provoking a mix of disbelief and horror for both him and Martha.
