THE CAT AND THE DEVIL

First edition, first printing. Publisher's original Gerald Rose illustrated boards, in the pictorial dustwrapper, repeating the design of the boards. Illustrated in colour and black and white throughout. A near fine copy, the binding square and firm with just a little rubbing to the spine tips and corners, the boards bright and fresh. The contents are clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the lightly rubbed dustwrapper that has been clipped and repriced by the publisher (£1.95 net to the lower front flap), and is otherwise without fading, loss or tears.

A charming and beautifully illustrated retelling of a French folk tale, based on a letter written from James Joyce to his grandson, Stephen.
