From Mr. David Nutt.---Mr. Oscar Wilde has proved himself to be the possessor of a rare faculty, a faculty which unfortunately is becoming rarer year by year, namely, that of being able to write good fairy stories, such as tend to stimulate human sympathies. In 'The Happy Prince and other Tales' will be found a group of graceful fancies, very readable indeed, and clearly the products of a reflective mind. The book is handsome in appearance and is illustrated by Walter Crane and Jacomb Hood.
