The Happy Prince and Other Tales.
WILDE, OSCAR

  • The Happy Prince and Other Tales.

Text in English; 40pp; printed on rather brittle paper, pencilled underlinings and notes particularly to the first story, small tears to inner margin to title and last last leaf, caused by the staples used to bind the book.

An edition of the Happy Prince, Selfish Giant and the Devoted Friend printed in Poland. Wilde's Christian name is spelt "Oskar" on the front cover, but is correct on the title. We have been unable to trace another copy of this edition, which presumably is pirated, in printed or online catalogues.
