Sobre este artículo
New York: Brentano's, 1915. 3/4 leather. Near Fine. Charles Robinson. A handsome example of the 1915 1st appearance to include the 12 full-page color illustrations by Charles Robinson. In this case bound (by the publisher?) in a lovely 3/4 navy-blue morocco over dark-blue cloth. 5 raised bands, intricate gilt-titling and design within the compartments. Clean and Near Fine overall, internally very sharp, with no writing or markings to speak of. Octavo, top-edge gilt, lovely illustrated marginalia throughout as well.
Sinopsis
This captivating collection contains all nine of Wilde's charming, sensitive stories for young readers. Included are The Happy Prince," a tale of a young nobleman who in his lifetime sought only pleasure, but in death, as a gold-encrusted statue, provides aid to the needy; "The Selfish Giant," in which children are prohibited from playing in the garden of an unfeeling colossus; and "The Star-Child," the tale of a beautiful boy whose ugly spirit causes his physical appearance to become equally grotesque. Also here are "The Nightingale and the Rose," "The Birthday of the Infanta," "The Remarkable Rocket," "The Devoted Friend," "The Young King," and "The Fisherman and His Soul."
