Description

"Take a night-rambler (Jack Murt in 'Jack o'the Lantern'), a fisherman (Sean O Duinnin), a gambler, (Martin the Cards in 'The Two-Rooted Briar') or a plain ordinary farmer (Larry in 'Larry and Devil'). Each of these gentlemen should have realised that there are certain things no one should do, certain conventions that must be obeyed, such as not fishing on Good Friday or talking to spectral figures in graveyards in the dead hours of the night. But sadly, common sense does not always rule. The only bother is that when the cause of trouble is the Devil, the consequences for the luckless victim are likely to be very serious indeed - unless he shows himself worthy of reprieve by outsmarting the Evil One..."--BOOK JACKET.
