Ten tales a book, each with an illustration as elegant as the polished prose, tell of the Devil's adventures on Earth and in Hell. In either realm, he's an almost likeable prankster; most of the people who fall foul of him had it coming anyway, and he's easily outsmarted by goodness.

The stories are told with radiant clarity, yet they embody ingenious little twists of plot that surprise and delight the reader. Wonderful books for reading aloud to older children, and for independent readers to enjoy for themselves.
