Somewhat Disappointing
This is a high quality book, but the illustrations are drab, dull and BORING. That's the major reason why I would not recommend this book. There is a cheaper edition of Wilde's fairy tales available at Amazon that has gorgeous illustrations and is a better value.

This book comprises four tales and is a companion to The Happy Prince and Other Tales. The stories in this book are: * The Young King: A young shepherd is taken to the palace to be crowned king. He dreams of the sorrows befallen those who have provided his coronation finery. * The Birthday of the Infanta: A hunchback dwarf is given to the Spanish princess for her 12th birthday. * The Fisherman and his Soul: A young fisherman must lose his soul in order to be with the mermaid he loves. * The Star-child: A baby is found in the woods and is brought up by a woodcutter. He grows up to be handsome but cruel. As with the stories in The Happy Prince, these tales *can* be read to children but are intended for adults, with an underlying morality to each tale.
