Oscar Wilde writes a charming fairy tales he has written five for the volume entitled 'The Happy Prince' (Boston: Roberts Brothers). The other four are 'The Nightingale and the Rose, ' 'The S------Giant', 'The Devoted Friend, and 'The remarkable Rocket'. They are original in conception, simple and winning in the telling and graced with a tender and delicate humor that points their purpose admirably. Walter Crane and Jacob Hood illustrate the volume with characteristic drawings.
