Retold by Elissa Grodin.
Illustrated by
Laura Stutzman.
This version of Oscar Wilde's fairy tale about the friendship between a golden bejeweled statue and a swallow is less flowery and more pedantic than the original, but still affecting. The contemporary setting helps make the tale of kindness and caring relevant for today's readers. Handsome paintings in rich colors illustrate the story. A biographical note about Wilde is included.
