A delightful children's story by James Joyce, genius author of Ulysses, in a gorgeously illustrated new edition.
"Will intrigue older readers of 7+ and their grown-ups."
"Probably the most impressive book I've seen this year for younger readers. ... Adult Joyce fans would also be impressed with a gift of this book, it is exquisite."
James Joyce (1882–1941) is one of the most important authors in the history of the English language. Born in Dublin, Ireland, he immortalised the city of his birth in modernist masterpiece Ulysses (1922). That book is celebrated annually in Dublin on 16 June, known as "Bloomsday" after its main character, Leopold Bloom. Joyce's other works include Dubliners, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and Finnegans Wake. The Cat and the Devil was first written in a letter to his young grandson, Stephen Joyce.
