Oscar Wilde's fairy tales are some of his most elegant and charming
pieces of writing. He produced two books of fairy tales -- THE
HAPPY PRINCE AND OTHER TALES, and A HOUSE OF POMEGRANATES . They've
rarely been collected in one volume -- and never with stunning
artwork by Yuko Shimizu (THE UNWRITTEN, BARBED WIRE BASEBALL, A
WILD SWAN), one of the modern masters of illustration and graphic
art. Wilde's original fairy tales are moving, sweet, sad and
magical -- much like Yuko's artwork. Yuko is one of the most
celebrated and admired editorial illustrators in the world, and her
work is perfectly aligned with Wilde's witty, rueful voice. The
edition also features an original introduction by the Pulitzer
Prize winning novelist Michael Cunningham. Illuminated Editions is
a series of works of classic fiction, prose, and poetry,
beautifully designed and lavishly illustrated in exquisitely
produced small-batch editions. These volumes intend to harken back
to the lovingly crafted, handsomely bound illustrated books of the
Victorian era and the golden age of illustration, re-imagined using
modern design sensibilities and the most modern techniques in
presentation, book-craft, and printing. Each cloth-bound volume in
this series is presented in a die-cut slipcase, printed on high
quality wood-free uncoated paper, and powerfully elaborated by one
of the finest graphic artists in the world.
