Even the youngest new Joyce fans can participate in the Bloomsday fun and celebrations as Joyce\u2019s charming children\u2019s story The Cat and the Devil is brought to life. Step into the Joyce Centre\u2019s stunning Georgian townhouse venue for an exciting family event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The people of the French town of Beaugency, a tiny town on the bank of the Loire, are weary. They have no bridge, and so must travel by boat every time they want to cross the river. When the Devil (who looks suspiciously like James Joyce) appears in Beaugency, offering to build a bridge for the people himself, the Lord Mayor finds that his offer comes at a high price: the soul of the first person to cross the bridge. Can the Lord Mayor outsmart the Devil himself?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Book<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally written as a letter to Joyce\u2019s grandson Stephen, The Cat and the Devil has lately been made available for young readers after a prolonged period out of print. With gorgeous illustrations by Brazilian artist Lelis, Little Island made this children\u2019s story by Ireland\u2019s greatest author available once more in 2021, for children and for Joyce enthusiasts of all ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Booking: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.co.uk\/e\/the-cat-and-the-devil-tickets-342626132987?aff=ebdssbdestsearch&amp;keep_tld=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.eventbrite.co.uk\/e\/the-cat-and-the-devil-tickets-342626132987?aff=ebdssbdestsearch&amp;keep_tld=1<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1576,"parent":0,"template":"","event_cats":[14,13],"class_list":["post-1575","events","type-events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","event_categories-lecture","event_categories-performance"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The Cat and the Devil - James Joyce Centre, Dublin, Ireland<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The Cat and the Devil - James Joyce Centre, Dublin, Ireland\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"18 and 19 June 2022, | 2pm | Free Admission \u2013 Booking Essential James Joyce Centre, 35 North Great George\u2019s St., Dublin 2 Do you know the story about the cat of Beaugency?
