The Birthday of the Infanta

Oscar Wilde's The Birthday of the Infanta, illustrated by Allison Beausoleil, who also did the layout for the book. It tells the story of a Princess of Spain's birthday party, and the low regard she has for people who are less fortunate than she is, in particular towards a little dwarf. A story for children and adults alike, Wilde's writing is poetic, sad, and beautiful. Fully illustrated with bright pictures, this is a special edition of a classic fairytale.
