The Happy Prince

(3) K-3 Adapted by Maisie Paradise Shearring. Illustrated by Maisie Paradise Shearring. Wilde's classic tale about the transformative power of sacrifice focuses on the friendship forged between a statue and a sparrow. Shearring's new modernized illustrations balance colorful portraits of luxury and happiness against scenes of wintery urban bleakness. She employs a sophisticated sense of design that invites readers to share both the intimacy of Wilde's story and its universal appeal.
