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

4.0

I felt so lucky when I found this at a comic book store in Phoenix. I had no idea that Oscar Wilde wrote fairy tales.

Russell beautifully illustrated two complex, moral tales. In The Selfish Giant, Wilde shows how selfishness can lead to a winter in the soul. Lots of Christian influence in this one.

In The Star Child, Wilde warns children of the consequences of vanity and cruelty. I really enjoyed this one, even with the ominous ending.

I'd like to collect this whole series.
