Review by Sukey Howard
Oscar Wilde: Fairy Tales is utterly charming and beautifully read by none other than Philippe de Montebello, the Director of The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Five of these perennially delightful fairy tales, as rich in Wilde's ever-present irony as in his imagery, are included, among them "The Selfish Giant" and "The Nightingale and the Rose" (my all-time favorite). Sophisticated and simple at the same time -- you and the kids can listen at your own levels.
