Starchild

Starchild

Work:: Starchild (S262658344)

A star falls from a winter sky and is found by two woodcutters. The star turns out to be a "STARCHILD" who grows up to be beautiful and beguiles everyone with his singing and dancing. But STARCHILD has a dark secret. When he meets a beggar woman, a terrible change occurs. The woods in which STARCHILD grew up begin to tell a different tale. Follow STARCHILD on his quest and meet, along the way, the proud Peacock, the sinister Wolf, the Hare that carries a message. And the Mystical Sorcerer... Oscar Wilde told this story to his own children and included it in his collection A House of Pomegranates. Wilde wrote that "...these stories are meant partly for children and partly for those who have kept their childlike faculties of wonder and joy, and who find in simplicity a subtle strangeness." STARCHILD has the echoes of Wilde's famous novel Dorian Gray. Starchildren are children who have been sent to earth from somewhere in the universe to help the earth and the people in it. "I can believe anything provided it is quite incredible" Oscar Wilde
