Oscar Wilde (1854–1900) is deservedly famous for the brilliant plays and other works he wrote for adults. But he also was a wonderful writer for children, the author of two charming volumes of fairy tales. In this captivating collection you will find every one of the nine sensitive, unforgettable stories he wrote for young readers.
Included here are ‘The Happy Prince, ‘ a tale of a young nobleman who in his lifetime sought only pleasure, but in death, as a gold-encrusted statue, provides aid to the needy; ‘The Selfish Giant, ‘ in which children are prohibited from playing in the garden of an unfeeling colossus; and ‘The Star-Child, ‘ the tale of a beautiful boy whose ugly spirit causes his physical appearance to become equally grotesque. Also here are such favorites as ‘The Nightingale and the Rose, ‘ ‘The Birthday of Infants, ‘ ‘The Remarkable Rocket, ‘ ‘The Devoted Friend, ‘ ‘The Young King, ‘ and ‘The Fisherman and His Soul.’ Reprinted complete and unabridged, these enchanting tales will appeal to devotees of Wilde and fairy tale fans of all ages.
