Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Sally Castles beautifully hand-lettered and illustrated edition of Oscar Wildes The Happy Prince sets the story among Readings parks, squares, rooflines and churches the town thats shaped her and her artwork and where Oscar spent an unhappy period in gaol. This enchanting combination of fairy story with concrete urban reality, a tale of sacrificial love written with a flourish and swirl, turns a simple book into a gem as precious as the large red ruby that glowed on the Princes sword-hilt.With an introduction by Michael Seeney, author and collector of Wildes work.Sally Castle writes:'Oscar Wildes story, The Happy Prince, was originally published in 1888 and is a tale about doing good deeds to help others. I began illustrating it as a personal project and decided to set the story in Reading the town of my birth and a connection to Oscar through The Ballad of Reading Gaol. Ive portrayed Readings buildings in my artwork over many years and designed public artworks that celebrate its built heritage.After his release, Oscar Wilde was said to have remembered Reading Gaol as a sort of enchanted castle and Ive depicted it as such in the Happy Princes tale. The Prince himself is based on the playing card, Jack of Hearts, who is believed to win his crown through sacrifice for love. I have a reputation for hand lettering and have set the text in a style loosely based on copperplate, written with a pen dipped in Quink ink to give the feel of a sketchbook. Perhaps this is how Oscar wrote it?' A new edition of Oscar Wildes The Happy Prince, beautifully illustrated and hand-lettered by artist Sally Castle. With an introduction by Oscar Wilde expert Michael Seeney. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9781909747906
