(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Robin Muller. This is a handsome edition of Wilde's original fairy tale of devotion, compassion, and self-sacrifice. The illustrator has chosen to emphasize the uplifting elements of the story, concentrating on the devoted swallow and suffusing all his pictures--even those supposedly depicting abject poverty--with the gold of the statue of the Happy Prince. A biographical note on Wilde is appended.
