2017ref. 19884London: The Folio Society 2017. Fine/Fine Slipcase No Dust Jacket As Issued. FAIRY TALES OF BEAUTY LOSS AND REDEMPTION. A beautifully produced Folio Society edition collecting Oscar Wilde's most beloved fairy tales including stories drawn from The Happy Prince and Other Tales 1888 and A House of Pomegranates 1891. With an introduction by acclaimed author Jeanette Winterson and illustrations by Grahame Baker-Smith this edition presents Wilde's enchanting stories in a form that reflects their lasting literary and visual appeal. Wilde's fairy tales are far more than children's stories. Through lyrical prose symbolism and emotional depth they explore generosity sacrifice loneliness compassion and the tension between beauty and suffering. Stories such as The Selfish Giant The Happy Prince and The Nightingale and the Rose reveal Wilde's ability to combine moral reflection with extraordinary imagination. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Bound in quarter blue cloth with paper-covered boards featuring a color pictorial design from artwork by Grahame Baker-Smith. Housed in a silver slipcase. xix 172 pages. Introduction by Jeanette Winterson. Illustrated. Octavo 10.25 inches tall. First Edition Thus. CONDITION: Fine. No flaws or blemishes beyond minimal shelf handling. A gift-quality copy. LITERARY SIGNIFICANCE: OSCAR WILDE'S ENDURING MORAL IMAGINATION. Oscar Wilde's fairy tales remain among his most admired works combining the elegance of his prose with profound observations on human nature. Written during the height of his literary career these stories reveal a more reflective side of Wilde using fantasy to examine social inequality kindness sacrifice and the search for meaning. Their continuing appeal lies in their ability to speak simultaneously to younger readers and adults offering simple narratives that contain complex emotional and philosophical ideas.
