Fairy Tales of Oscar Wilde: The Selfish Giant and the Star Child

By Oscar Wilde

Book Overview

One of comic art's most respected and pioneering artists, well known for his opera adaptations and beautiful fantasy work, P. Craig Russell retells Oscar Wilde's famous fairy tales in a series of landmark volumes. In The Selfish Giant', the eponymous creature kicks a bunch of frolicking youngsters out of his garden, only to find that frosty winter moves in to take their place. 'The Star Child' depicts a beautiful but mean, terribly vain boy who becomes physically repulsive when he rebuffs a ragged beggar with a hidden identity... Artistic talent meets literary genius - magical.'
