Review
a book to treasure ... beautifully presented ... impressive
(School Librarian)this beautiful edition is a gift to a new generation, well remembered and treasured by past generations and hopefully preserved with joy, pain and breadth of vision intact for the edification of future hearts and minds
(Midwest Book Review)three of Oscar Wilde’s fairy tales for children are republished with gorgeous original art by Robinson. It would be a loss for contemporary children not to have these stories
(Kirkus Reviews)the pairings of story and art glow with the truth that love knows no boundaries. The 1888 art is beautifully reproduced in full pages, while the linear, originally black-and-white images have been washed with color. The latter is always a chancy business, as the book’s designer, Emma Byrne, acknowledges: “[T]his is a tightrope act, as it is important not to destroy the integrity of the fine linework.” It does not seem meretricious in this case; the result is lovely. This is full-blown art nouveau: The watercolors are voluptuous in their sinuous line and delicacy of hue, and even the text pages have shadow patterns beneath their lovely type
(Kirkus Reviews)with great respect for the past, this edition succeeds in bringing the illustrations into the present
(Kirkus Reviews)these beautiful illustrations could certainly be used in visual arts in the looking and responding strand unit in senior classes
(InTouch magazine)the themes in The Selfish Giant would be suitable for use in middle classes
(InTouch magazine)both The Happy Prince and The Selfish Giant provide a considerable body of work in English, drama and SPHE for senior classes
(InTouch magazine)The Nightingale and the Rose could possibly be used with an above average sixth class
(InTouch magazine)stunning new edition
(Fallenstarstories.blogspot.ie and Inismagazine.ie)About the Author
Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde was an Irish playwright, poet and author of numerous short stories and one novel. Known for his biting wit, and a plentitude of aphorisms, he became one of the most successful playwrights of the late Victorian era in London, and one of the greatest celebrities of his day. Several of his plays continue to be widely performed, especially The Importance of Being Earnest.
