The Happy Prince and Other Tales

The literary tales of Oscar Wilde (1854–1900) were published in two collections in 1888 and 1891, respectively. Coldly received by critics in their time, they later became an undisputed classic—like the rest of the literary heritage of the talented Irish writer and poet. This edition includes new translations of three "studies in prose," as Wilde himself called his fairy tale works. Filled with sincere emotions and marked by a paradoxical form of expression, the writings are adorned with emotional illustrations by contemporary Spanish artist Alberto Asensio.
