Introduce a new generation to Oscar Wilde's classic children's tales with this stunningly illustrated luxury gift edition - a must-have for young readers this Christmas.
Oscar Wilde has enchanted readers young and old alike for over a hundred years. In 1888, he published a collection of bedtime stories for children. This beautiful collection contains six of these classic tales: 'The Selfish Giant', 'The Happy Prince', 'The Devoted Friend', 'The Nightingale & the Rose', 'The Remarkable Rocket' and 'The Young King'.
For the first time, these beloved stories from the great Irish queer author are being published in a major new edition by an Irish publisher. With high-quality paper, a linen-effect cover, gold foil details, ribbon bookmark and classic binding touches, this keepsake hardback edition, printed and bound in Italy, is crafted to be treasured and shared.
Feeling both classic and fresh, timeless and modern, Lauren O'Hara's delicate, rich colour illustrations bring this cornerstone of children's literature to life for readers of all ages.
A gifted poet, playwright and wit, Oscar Wilde was a phenomenon in 19th century England. He was illustrious for preaching the importance of style in life and art, and of attacking Victorian narrow mindedness. Wilde is immortalised through his works, and the stories he wrote for children such as "The Happy Prince" and "The Selfish Giant" are still vibrant in the imagination of the public.
