Books with title Spice and the Devil's Cave

From synopsis: "This charming little fable was written by James Joyce in a letter to his young grandson "Stevie." It 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.."

"This fable was written by James Joyce in 1936 as a letter to his grandson, Stephen Joyce - 'Stevie.' It is signed 'Nonno' which is probably what Stevie called his grandfather. The fable tells of the magical overnight construction of an actual bridge over the Loire in the town of Beaugency. Today any young reader who might doubt this tale may still walk or ride his bike over this very old bridge." -- From LETTERS OF JAMES JOYCE, edited by Stuart Gilbert, copyright 1957 by Viking Press.

"The setting is Lisbon, Portugal in the late 1490s, as Vasco de Gama, Bartholomew Diaz, and Ferdinand Magellan discuss their plans to find the elusive sea route around the Cape of Good Hope, which would enable Portugal to access the spice-rich countries of the Far East." --Wikipedia Notice: This Book is published by Historical Books Limited (www.publicdomain.org.uk) as a Public Domain Book, if you have any inquiries, requests or need any help you can just send an email to publications@publicdomain.org.uk This book is found as a public domain and free book based on various online catalogs, if you think there are any problems regard copyright issues please contact us immediately via DMCA@publicdomain.org.uk
