OSCAR WILDE STORIES FOR CHILDREN

'High above the city, on a tall column, stood the statue of the Happy Prince. He was gilded all over with thin leaves of fine gold, for his eyes he had two bright sapphires, and a large red ruby glowed on his sword-hilt. He was very much admired indeed.' The Selfish Giant, The Nightingale and the Rose, The Devoted Friend, The Happy Prince, The Remarkable Rocket and The Young King are the six much-loved timeless, moving and very readable stories in this fantastic collection complemented by atmospheric and evocative artwork from a leading illustrator in sophisticated rather Arthur Rackham-esque style. The publisher recommends for 8-12 year olds but really these fairy tales have themes and structures which are rhythmical and beautiful for readers of every age, in beautiful prose and with beautiful artwork too, this is sure to become a collector's item. 21 x 26.5cm, 94 page large softback.
