Más información sobre el libro

This collection of fairy tales showcases Oscar Wilde's unique storytelling, influenced by the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen, as well as Irish folktales. With a focus on Christian imagery and aestheticism, tales like "The Young King" blend these themes in a richly evocative manner. Wilde's intention was to create stories that transcended traditional British children's literature, reflecting his broader artistic vision. The collection, published in 1891, serves as a testament to Wilde's literary inspirations, including the influence of Walter Pater.
