Oscar Wilde's stories are much-loved classics and make a fantastic story collection. They are timeless. moving and very readable. They are brought to life through the luminous illustrations of P. J. Lynch, making this a collection that blends enchantment with emotional depth in a way few children’s books do.
Wilde’s timeless tales—rich with compassion, moral courage, and gentle melancholy—invite young readers to reflect on kindness, generosity, and what it means to love selflessly.
Lynch’s artwork amplifies the beauty and poignancy of each story, creating a vivid world where noble princes, self-sacrificing friends, and magical creatures feel both fantastical and deeply human.
The result is a book that resonates across ages: a moving introduction to classic literature for children, and a nostalgic, soul-stirring experience for adults revisiting Wilde’s luminous storytelling.
Titles included are: The Selfish Giant, The Nightingale and the Rose, The Devoted Friend, The Happy Prince, The Remarkable Rocket, The Young King
