Synopsis: Faber and Faber first edition, 24 Russell Square London; Joyce's only children's book, originally written as a letter to his grandson Stephen in 1936; vivid orange Gerald Rose dust jacket with white cat and dancing devil; bold pen-and-ink illustrations throughout; appealing to collectors of Joyce, Gerald Rose, Faber first editions, and children's literature by major literary figures. Review: The Cat and the Devil is James Joyce's only work written for children — a delightful retelling of the legend of the Devil's Bridge at Beaugency, originally composed as a letter to his four-year-old grandson Stephen Joyce in August 1936. In the story, the Devil offers to build a bridge for the town of Beaugency in exchange for the soul of the first creature to cross it — only to be outwitted by the Lord Mayor, who sends a cat across first. Gerald Rose's bold, exuberant illustrations perfectly complement Joyce's playful prose, and the Faber and Faber first edition — with its vivid orange jacket — is one of the most visually striking and bibliographically unusual items in the Joyce canon. A genuinely rare and desirable piece for any serious Joyce collection. Gerald Rose (illustratore).…
