Fairy Tales of Oscar Wilde (Illuminated Edition)

Early in his career, Oscar Wilde penned two collections of fairy tales—The Happy Prince and Other Tales and A House of Pomegranates. These stories are seldom brought together in a single volume, and never before with the breathtaking artwork of Yuko Shimizu (The Unwritten, Barbed Wire Baseball), one of the world's most acclaimed editorial illustrators. Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Michael Cunningham, in his introduction, describes this collaboration as 'a convergence of such extraordinary talents that the book itself seems to hum with life."

This edition is a luxurious 9x12" oversized hardcover, meticulously bound in sewn signatures and housed in a beautifully crafted slipcase featuring elaborate embossing, debossing, die-cut design, and silk-screened artwork.

Inside, the pages are printed on rich, acid-free, heavy-weight 140gsm uncoated paper, ensuring lasting quality. Each edition is adorned with at least ten full-page illustrations, complemented by numerous spot drawings and illuminated letters throughout.
