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 champ's Career' and 'The Egoist'. The success of this edition indicates that the taste for Meredith is growing. The sign is a healthy one, for there are not many novelists whose books are so well worth reading. [Each, $1.50, Roberts.]
