Publisher's Synopsis
These wonderful imaginative fantasies and true-to-life fables were made up by Oscar Wilde for his own sons. Here is the tale of the prince who is not as happy as he seems, of the Selfish Giant who learns how to love children, and of the Star-Child who suffers bitter trials when he rejects his parents. Also included are 'The Devoted Friend', 'The Remarkable Rocket', 'The Nightingale and the Rose' and 'The Birthday of the Infanta'. Often whimsical and sometimes sad, all the stories shine with poetry and magic.
