Complete Fairy Tales of Oscar Wilde

Complete fairy tales of Oscar Wilde A celebrated playwright and poet, Oscar Wilde also penned incomparable nonfiction and fiction, and lovely gemlike fairy tales. Filled with princes and nightingales, mermaids, giants, and kings, his tales carry the mark of his signature irony and subtle eroticism. This volume brings together all the stories found in Wilde's two collections, The Hippy Prince and Other Tales and A House of Pomegranates. Published here alongside their evocative original illustrations, these fairy tales, as Wilde himself explained, were written "partly for children, and partly for those who have kept the childlike faculties of wonder and joy." With a New Introduction by Gyles Brandreth and an Afterword by Jack Zipes.
