Oscar Wilde's achingly beautiful fairytales, collected in a lux hardcover with original artwork by Yuko Shimizu and introduction by Michael Cunningham.

Oscar Wilde's fairy tales are some of his most elegant and charming pieces of writing. He produced two books of fairy 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.
