First published in 1965, this children's story by the renowned Irish writer James Joyce has been out of print since 1988. Originally written for Joyce's grandson, it tells the story of the mayor of a small town, who makes a deal with the devil to build a bridge across the local river. When the devil comes to take his part of the bargain, the clever mayor appeals to the devil's weak spot – his love of cute cats. This beautiful hardback edition will appeal to children, Joyceans, and lovers of beautiful picture books (and, of course, cats!).

Hardcover. Etat : new. Lelis (illustrateur). Hardcover. A delightful childrens story by James Joyce, author of Ulysses, in a gorgeously illustrated new edition.On 10 August 1936, James Joyce wrote a letter to his grandson Stephen. In the letter he told, in simple language, the story of how the Devil built a bridge across the river at the town of Beaugency. As usual, the Devil wanted a high price for his gift. But the clever mayor of the town outwitted the Devil by making use of the Devils fondness for cats. It was an old French story but Joyce gave the mayor the name of a famous mayor of his own home town of Dublin in Ireland: the popular politician and character, Alfie Byrne. The story has since been published in picturebook form, but it has long been out of print in English. This gorgeously illustrated new Little Island edition brings back the delightful childrens story written by Irelands greatest writer, author of the Modernist masterpiece Ulysses, James Joyce. Introduce young readers to the work of Irelands literary giant James Joyce with this delightful illustrated hardback picture book.
