 Oscar Wilde's Fairy Tales, by Clifton Snider   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
According to Rhoda A. Hendricks, "The pomegranate was the food of the dead, and those who had eaten of it could not be freed from the land of the dead" (48, n.).
Cirlot writes, ironically, that the pomegranate is "symbolic of fecundity"; but, and this is important, "the predominating significance of the pomegranate, arising from its shape and internal structure rather than from its colour, is the reconciliation of the multiple and diverse within apparent unity" (261).
As for the poor houses: "The landlords in the East End would subdivide their tenements in ever smaller units so much that often large families were forced to live in one or two rooms, packing as many as four people--children and grownups, male and female--into one bed.

This collection comprises both the Happy Prince compilation and the House of Pomegranates compilation of Oscar Wilde's short stories.
I for one appreciated seeing the original illustrations, but most of all I appreciated that these are the complete tales, unedited, unlike most children's book versions.
As to the contents, I agree that The Happy Prince tales (the first 5 in this book) are more suited to children than the A House of Pomegranates tales (the last 4).
