Duffy and the Devil: A Cornish Tale

. Farrar Straus Giroux, $7.99 (40pp) ISBN 978-0-374-41897-7

""The Zemachs' re-creation of a 19th century Cornish entertainment retains all the robust, ribald qualities of the original, a plot based on Rumpelstiltskin,'' noted PW. ``How Duffy marries her boss and outwits a demon is at the heart of this gutsy tale.'' (5-9)
