The Story

Description


Inspired by the Irish fairy tales of his childhood, Oscar Wilde's imaginative story-telling incorporates a variety of genres - from mystery to fantasy and the supernatural. This collection includes three of such stories: 'The Happy Prince', a tender story about friendship and compassion; 'The Remarkable Rocket', a cautionary tale about a deluded, self-important firework; and Lord Arthur Savile's Crime and Other Stories, a comic mystery about an ominous prediction. Wilde's aesthetic preoccupations are evident in every line. Witty, wise, big-hearted, and sometimes melancholy, these writings are a testament to his standing as a literary genius of the Victorian age. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Arcturus Classics series brings together high-quality paperback editions of classics works, presented with contemporary graphic cover designs. Together they make a wonderful collection which is perfect for any home library. Pub Date: 2026 Format: Paperback Pages: 320 Size: 8.00(h) x 5.00(w) inches
