The stories of Oscar Wilde speak for themselves but I love this beautiful edition illustrated by Michael Hauge. ( ) Richer, more sophisticated, and more valuable than Andersen's stories, but having some things in common with them, such as a pervasive theme of humility and sacrifice as service to God. I read some of these as a child, but re-reading them as an adult is a whole 'nother experience, and one I recommend. This edition would be the one I'd recommend, as the illustrations are indeed very pretty and the font is clear, the pages heavy, etc. Otoh, I'm sure you can read the tales for free from Project Gutenberg, too, if you aren't as lucky as I to find this in the library. no reviews | add a review
