What Our Customers Say...
Description
Colour Plates, First Edition, Illustrated, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper
First edition. Illustrated with ten full colour pages and numerous in-text images. Not typically considered a writer of children's stories, Joyce wrote this work as a letter to his grandson Stephen. He retells the story of the cat of Beaugency, a town on the Loire, and the difficulties the town experienced when the Devil came to stay. Written by James Augustine Aloysius Joyce, an Irish novelist, poet and literary critic. Illustrated by Gerald Hembdon Seymour Rose, a British illustrator of children's books.
