The Star-Child

On a frosty winter night, the sky over the forest was split by the light of a falling star. In the place where it landed on earth, two woodcutters discovered a small boy. The child’s face was as beautiful as heavenly light, and his heart was colder than the January frost. Only true, limitless love can melt it and save an entire city from trouble. In this collection, alongside the beloved childhood fairy tale “The Star Boy,” there are other well-known works by the English classic Oscar Wilde. Wise and bright, sometimes sad, yet always life-affirming, they will surely appeal to young readers and teach them important things. And the wonderful illustrations by Svetlana Kucher will perfectly complement the book’s impressions.
