From the publisher description:
Long ago in the village of Beaugency in France, the townspeople had to go by boat to cross the Loire because they didn't have a bridge, and couldn't afford to have one made. The Lord Mayor, clad in his scarlet robes, made an agreement with the Devil, who was a wicked looking fellow but who said he was sorry for the villagers. His only terms were that the first person to cross the bridge would belong to him! And now, you'll have to read this charming fable for yourself to find out who crossed the bridge first. It wouldn't be fair to tell you, would it?
