Mr. Oscar Wilde has had so much abuse for certain calculated eccentricities in which he indulged during a tour of the United States that it is pleasant to find him on the title page of a book which can be praised without reserve. 'The Remarkable Rocket', 'The Devoted Friend,''The Selfish Giant', and 'The Nightingale and the Rose' are very dainty little fairy stories which will charm the young, yet afford zest to other persons by reason of the satirical, though not unkindly, flavor in them. 'The Happy Prince' has an element of pathos, such as we find in Hans Christian Andersen's unrivaled [sic] tales for children. The woodcuts are pleasant fancies, though somewhat used in the print, to employ a term that is often inexact when applied to pictures in modern books.
