Publisher's Synopsis
Oscar Wilde's fairy tales are not simply for children, but are also, or perhaps even primarily, aimed at an adult readership. This collection contains two of his most acclaimed stories - The Happy Prince and The Selfish Giant. By turns clever and poignant, sensitive and witty, sentimental and satirical, these tales are never less than delightful and surprising, and always thoroughly entertaining. This edition features new digital typesetting, replicating the beautiful Doves Type of the early twentieth century, designed for the quality, hand-made, letterpress editions of a private press.
