"The Happy Prince" is the most famous work by literary master Oscar Wilde. The love between the Prince and the Swallow, their sympathy and empathy for suffering people, has moved countless readers worldwide for a century. This book is re-written and illustrated by British illustrator Maisie Paradise Shearring. Her unique colors and unrestrained lines, as well as her creative personification of the little swallow, adding various fun activities of modern life such as eating ice cream and drinking beverages on vacation, are not only very cute and resonate more with readers, but also give this classic fairy tale, which has endured for a hundred years, a novel and delightful appearance.
