Publisher's Synopsis

Nine haunting fairy tales: The Happy Prince, The Selfish Giant, The Devoted Friend, The Remarkable Rocket, The Nightingale and the Rose, The Young King, The Birthday of the Infanta, The Star Child, The Fisherman and his Soul - Oscar Wilde made up these very special fairy tales for his own children. They loved to hear about the happy prince who was not really as happy as he seemed, and the selfish giant who learned to love the little children he had once hated.

About the Publisher

Puffin

The first ten paperback Penguin books appeared in 1935 costing 6d each (the price of a packet of cigarettes). Since then the Penguin list has developed enormously, but still aims to bring the best writing to the widest possible audience. Penguin Paperbacks now range from Booker Prize-winning contemporary authors, to mass market bestsellers, with successful history, biography and general non-fiction as well.
