Sally Castle's beautifully hand-lettered and illustrated edition of
Oscar Wilde's The Happy Prince sets the story among Reading's
parks, squares, rooflines and churches - the town that's shaped her
and her artwork and where Oscar spent an unhappy period in gaol.
This enchanting combination of fairy story with concrete urban
reality, a tale of sacrificial love written with a flourish and
swirl, turns a simple book into a gem as precious as the large red
ruby that glowed on the Prince's sword-hilt. With an introduction
by Michael Seeney, author and collector of Wilde's work.
