About This Item
New York:: Schoken Books,, 1981.. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Very Good plus copy in glossy illustrated boards in a Very Good unclipped dust jacket with wear to the extremities and a tape reinforced tear to the rear panel. On August 10, 1936, James Joyce started a letter to his grandson Stevie: "I sent you a little cat filled with sweets a few days ago but perhaps you do not know the story about the cat of Beaugency." So began what was to be Joyce's only known story written for children. The story is an incongruous but delicious mixture of Irish wit and French folklore that explains the magic overnight construction of an actual bridge across the Loire, a very old bridge over which any young reader who might doubt the tale may still walk or ride his bike this very day.
