The Selfish Giant
Illustrated by Michael Foreman and Freire Wright
(Puffin)
978-0140503838, RRP £5.99, Paperback
8-10 Junior/Middle
The very moving story of the Giant who learns to love others is one of the best known of Wilde's fairy tales. In this picture book version the illustrations brilliantly capture both the awesomeness and deep humility of the Giant, and sensitive use of colour evokes the mood of the tale. An excellent introduction to Oscar Wilde's fairy stories.
