Oscar Wilde’s fairytales have been reissued several times. This most recent reissue is a fresh look at his story The Selfish Giant . What begins as a simple story of a giant learning to share his heart and his garden with the neighborhood children takes a striking religious turn at the end.
It’s a beautiful message many children’s books attempt to convey but with the clever wordplay of Oscar Wilde.
Lisbeth Zwerger’s illustrations appear as sweet watercolors of characters right at home in Wilde’s Dublin. It fits the old-fashioned fairytale with a timeless look.
