Oscar Wilde’s Stories for Children is the perfect introduction to Wilde's bedtime stories, for both older children and adults.

This collection includes six (6) of Oscar Wilde's short stories that will resonate with most readers. Each story spans a handful of pages, introducing readers to characters ranging from giants to kings, with moral teachings at the heart, often echoing Christian religious teachings.
The foreword and back matter give readers some idea of Oscar Wilde’s life and circumstances, adding a bit more depth to this collection.

The illustrations are absolutely gorgeous and are matched perfectly to the story. They exude fairy tales vibes and add to the mysterious-ness of the story.

Highly recommended for public and school libraries, and essential for collections seeking high-quality literary retellings.
