The Happy Prince and other Tales, by Oscar Wilde. Illustrations by Walter Crane. These odd fairy stories are in quite an original vein, and have here a warmth of feeling and there a flavor of irony not always present in productions of this kind. The illustrations are also striking, and have an odd harmony with the text. (Roberts Bros.)
