The Nightingale & The Rose is one of nine among Oscar Wilde‘s set of Fairy Tales. This particular tale exposes an all too familiar innocence—and the vulgarities against it from the world— that only he was able to depict; it bears the poignancy of the best of his work.
The full text of the story can be found here.
The pictures in this palm-sized edition were culled from the series Les Roses, by master watercolorist to Marie Antoinette, Pierre-Joseph Redouté.
