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.
