Oscar Wilde has written some clever and readable fairy stories which are published under the title of 'The Happy Prince and other Tales' (Roberts, $1.00). The tales are, apparently, written with a purpose, and are more like elaborate fables than fiary stories in the ordinary meaning. The illustrations are by Walter Crane and Jacomb Hood.
