The Happy Prince, and Other Tales

Oscar Wilde and Charles Robinson

Charles Robinson's illustrations turned Wilde's fairy tales into one of the loveliest gift books of their age, and here is that Brentano's edition. The Happy Prince gives away his gold leaf, the Nightingale bargains with a rose tree, the Selfish Giant walls out spring. Wilde's glittering, tender stories in their finest dress. For reading aloud when the pictures matter as much as the words. Please note: this is the text of the story only. It has no pictures, so it is meant for a grown-up to read aloud rather than for a child to read alone. The illustrated experience of this story is the audiobook edition on Littletone.
