  • "A Star-Child whose beauty has caused him to grow proud, cruel, and selfish denies that an ugly beggar woman is his mother. Learning he is wrong, he vows to search for her throughout the world. When two poor woodcutters see a star fall one bitter winter's night, they rush to the spot where it lands, hoping to find treasure. Instead they find a mysterious child, whose destiny takes them on a strange and challenging journey. A morality tale in the unique Wildean manner - this story combines sumptuous imagery with bittersweet narrative. Olwyn Whelan's illustrations glow with life and depth; author Stella Maidment achieves an accessible, modern retelling that retains the rhythm and dazzlingly visual language of the original."@en
  • "Playwright, poet, essayist, flamboyant man-about-town, Oscar Wilde pack an astonishing amount of work, genius, and controversy into two short decades, producing masterworks in every literary genre. This selection includes almost all of his short stories, including "The Canterville Ghost," "The Fisherman and his Soul," and "The Remarkable Rocket." Alongside THE MODEL MILLIONAIRE, Harper Perennial will publish the short fiction of Fyodor Dostoevsky, Herman Melville, Willa Cather, Leo Tolstoy, and Stephen Crane to be packaged in a beautifully designed, boldly colorful boxset in the aim to attract contemporary fans of short fiction to these revered masters of the form. Also, in each of these selections will appear a story from one of the new collections being published in the "Summer of the Short Story." A story from Simon Van Booy's forthcoming collection, LOVE BEGINS IN WINTER, will be printed at the back of this volume."@en
