These fairy tales, which Oscar Wilde made up for his own sons, include ?The Happy Prince,? who was not as happy as he seemed, ?The Selfish Giant,? who learned to love little children, and ?The Star Child,? who suffered bitter trials when he rejected his parents. Often whimsical and sometimes sad, they all shine with poetry and magic.
Synopsis
A haunting, magical fairy-tale collection, in which Oscar Wilde beautifully evokes (among others) The Happy Prince who was not so happy after all, The Selfish Giant who learned to love little children and The Star Child who did not love his parents as much as he should. Each of the stories shines with poetry and magic and will be enjoyed by children of every age.
