Originally published in 1888, this 1940 edition brings Wildes masterful collection of fairy tales to a mid-century audience. While often categorized as childrens literature, these stories are deeply philosophical, poignant, and satirical explorations of love, sacrifice, and the social inequalities of Victorian society. Wildes prose is at its most lyrical here, blending "the beautiful" with "the bittersweet."
FEATURED STORIES
