The Happy Prince and Other Tales
by Oscar WildeA timeless classic of deceptively simplistic and fantastical stories. Originally published by Oscar Wilde in 1888, The Happy Prince and Other Tales is a collection of five short stories packed with heartfelt meaning for children and adults alike. This is a fine new edition of moral tales of selflessness, friendship, sacrifice, and kindness— and the dangers of not having them. Wilde’s eloquent and poetic writing makes these stories evoke a world in which tenderness and compassion are often endangered by greed, selfishness, and callousness. This new edition includes a new foreword by award-winning author Rick Wilber, and appeals to an entirely new generation of children, while imparting wisdom that withstands the test of time.

by Katherine KurtzIn an alternate Middle Ages, a new chapter begins in the magnificent fantasy saga of the Deryni, as the magical race faces annihilation by royal enemies and a radical church These are the darkest days for the Deryni of Gwynedd, the magical race that once ruled this medieval kingdom but now find themselves despised and hunted by the governing regents following the death of King Cinhil. Dead also is Camber of Culdi, who served as the Deryni's most faithful friend in the royal court. With young King Alroy too immature and weak to rule effectively, no one holds the power to halt the reign of genocidal terror that sweeps across the land--not even Prince Javan Haldane, Alroy's twin, who recognizes the perfidy of the regents and religious zealots hovering around his royal brother. But there is an equally distressing concern for the surviving children of Camber, whose body remains uncorrupted weeks after his death, suggesting that his soul may be trapped somewhere between earth and heaven--and nothing short of the ultimate sacrifice can set Camber free. Award-winning fantasist Katherine Kurtz continues her chronicles of an extraordinary medieval race in a magnificent series that picks up where her acclaimed Camber of Culdi trilogy left off. A story of intolerance, faith, and courage, rich in character, magic, wonder, and evocative detail, Kurtz's brilliantly imagined alternate history is one of the shining jewels of fantasy fiction.
