About this product
Product Information
Beautiful lyrical prose of Wilde gorgeously rendered by one of comic art's masters Arguably the most famous and beloved of Oscar Wilde's nine fairy tales, this particular rendition stands apart from the others due to its brilliant illustrations by a master of comic art. After dying young, the Happy Prince's soul inhabits a beautiful ruby-encrusted statue covered in gold leaf which is perched high above the city. But when he sees the poverty, misery and desperateness of his people, he enlists the help of a barn swallow to remove the gilding of his statue and shower the riches on his people. In the spring, the townspeople are saved, but find only a stripped down and dull statue alongside a dead swallow. The remains are tossed into an ash heap, but an emissary of God recognizes their sacrifice, and escorts them into the gardens of Heaven. Perfect for middle school students as an introduction to the world-famous author, the dazzling illustrations in this book suit the timeless writings of Wilde.

A lovely adaptation." -- School Library Journal, "Russell's sensitive, Belle Époque -inspired artwork brings the story to life with a matched sensibility that makes other comics adaptations look clumsy." -- Publishers Weekly starred review, "Russell's sensitive, Belle poque -inspired artwork brings the story to life with a matched sensibility that makes other comics adaptations look clumsy." -- Publishers Weekly starred review, "Skillfully using perspective, angle, and shadow, Russell portrays the emotions and humanity of the happy prince while never letting readers forget that he is a statue.

As described... A+++ on shipping and price... C (and that's being generous) on time. If you have forever and a month of Sundays to wait around then by all means do so. The price was great and the seller communicated wonderfully and the item was packed well so it wasn't damaged during transit all A pluses in my book just took a little bit longer than I anticipated.
