The Happy Prince, and Other Tales by Oscar Wilde, hand-bound in genuine leather by LeatheredLines. Oscar Wilde's first collection of fairy tales, published in 1888, includes the story of the jewelled statue of the Happy Prince and the little swallow who helps him give away his riches. Alongside it are The Nightingale and the Rose, The Selfish Giant, The Devoted Friend and The Remarkable Rocket. Beautiful, witty and often heartbreaking, they are loved by children and adults alike.
About this leather-bound edition
Each copy is bound by hand in genuine leather over sturdy boards, with decorative tooling and gold-tone foil lettering on the spine. Natural variation in grain, shade and foil impression is part of the character of every handmade book, so no two copies are exactly alike.
The thickness and weight of the finished book depend on the length of this particular title. Longer works make a noticeably thicker volume, while shorter works are slimmer.
