The Happy Prince & Other Tales

English

By (author): Oscar Wilde

Illustrated by: Charles Robinson

Oscar Wildes childrens stories explore timeless themes of good and evil, freedom and responsibility, love and death, beauty and self-sacrifice. Featuring princesses, ogres and talking animals, the questions they pose are as pertinent now as they were at the turn of the century. What is love? asks The Happy Prince. How do you get what you need? asks The Nightingale and the Rose. How do you win friends (and avoid alienating people)? asks The Selfish Giant. Can you have too much compassion? asks The Devoted Friend. How can you set the world on fire? asks The Remarkable Rocket. Wildes stories have given pleasure to generations of readers. By turns moving and funny, they gently teach free thinking rather than giving prescriptive lessons. This beautiful collectors edition with original watercolour illustrations and decorative motifs from the 1913 edition by Charles Robinson and an introduction by Wilde expert Michèle Mendelssohn is certain to surprise and delight adults and children alike.
