Description
The Cat and the Devil by James Joyce is a charming fable about a clever deal between the Devil and the Mayor of a French town. When the Devil offers to build a much-needed bridge over the River Loire in a single night, he asks for just one thing in return—the soul of the first being to cross it. The cunning mayor finds a way to outsmart the Devil by sending a cat across first. Originally written as a letter to Joyce's grandson, this delightful tale is brought to life with playful illustrations, making it a timeless and witty story about trickery and clever thinking.
