By Natalie Babbitt
Every now and then, the Devil likes to pop up into the world
for an adventure. He’s a trickster and a mischief-maker, and just as full of
vanity and other human failings. But he’s also a gifted storyteller.
I discovered this little gem after looking up books by
Natalie Babbitt, who is probably best known for “Tuck Everlasting”. I’ve read a
few of her books and enjoy her storytelling. This book has been banned in many
schools and towns simply because it’s a book featuring the Devil. Of course
this made me even more curious because I could not see Natalie Babbitt writing
anything derogatory for children. This is a book full of short stories about
the Devil and how he tries to torture and make people’s lives miserable. It
ends up being ironic, instructive at times, and pretty humorous. It is one of
those books that as a kid reading it, I would’ve been entertained by the
stories, but as an adult I was impressed by the underlying wit of the stories.
It was interesting to read. It can be along the same tone as Grimm fairy tales.
I give it a 3 out of 5
