Summary: A visual storytelling triumph
Comment: P. Craig Russell is one of the top artists working in the genre of the graphic novel today. His latest visual storytelling triumph in a series of marvelous adaptions of the fables and fairytales of Oscar Wilde flawlessly published by NMB Press is Fairy Tales Of Oscar Wilde: The Devoted Friend and The Nightingale And The Rose. Russell works his detailed and "museum quality" artistry to his usual high standards in the retelling of Oscar Wilde's original and imaginative stories. Readers of all ages will enjoy and treasure both the stories and the artistry of this outstanding graphic novelization. (...)

Summary: UGH!
Comment: I'd like to give it a score of "-5" but 1 is the lowest available here. This is absolutely and positively the ugliest artistic rendition of Oscar Wilde's beautiful fairy tales and of that of thousands of children's books I have read or collected over many years. The comic book style illustrations draw the reader away from the inner poetry and beauty of Wilde's prose. This is truly the first book I have ever thought of burning - it would make good kindling for the fireplace.

Summary: Beautiful! Magical! Like Never Before!
Comment: P. Craig Russell's pen makes sparks fly as it gives depth, color and life to every brilliant fold and cascade and ripple of luxury. More sparks fly as the pen portrays the poor and the raggled: the thinness of their bones, the dirtiness of their quarters, and, most poignantly of all, the pitiably concave looks on their scrawny faces. P Craig Russel makes Oscar Wilde's otherwise beautiful fairytales into something far beyond beautiful. The magic of the words and glistening sketches combined are enough to make one weep or wonder at the miracle of someone so talented as P. Craig Russell, and someone so talented as Oscar Wilde. Please buy this book knowing that it will bring you a treat like you have never experienced.
