Introduce young readers to the work of Ireland's literary giant James Joyce with this delightfully illustrated hardback picture book.
First written in a 1936 letter to his grandson, James Joyce's The Cat and the Devil playfully retells a French folk tale about how the bridge at Beaugency came to be. In this light-hearted fable, the Devil offers to build a magnificent bridge across the Loire - but, as always, he demands a steep price in return. The quick-witted mayor, however, turns the Devil's fondness for cats into a clever trick, outsmarting him and saving the townspeople from his bargain.
Long out of print, this new edition brings Joyce's playful storytelling and timeless wit to a new generation, complete with stunning illustrations that make it a must-have for children, collectors and Joyce enthusiasts alike.
