The Best Fairy Tales of Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde is a significant writer of the European decadence era. In his work, he avoided everything trivial, as art was meant to be a refuge from boredom and banality. Fairy tales hold a special place in Wilde's oeuvre. Beautiful, tender, and sad, they invite the reader to reflect on good and evil, friendship and compassion, repentance and loyalty.
Maria Mikhalskaya, in her illustrations, managed to convey not only the dramatic and tragic nature of the plots but also quiet joy and tenderness.
