The Happy Prince Vintage Paperback

6W Oscar Wilde. London: Puffin Book, 1963

Description

The Happy Prince and Other Stories by Oscar Wilde is a collection of poignant fairy tales that blend beauty, sadness, and moral lessons. The title story follows a gilded statue, the Happy Prince, who, with the help of a devoted swallow, gives away his riches to help the poor and suffering in his city. Other stories in the collection, such as “The Nightingale and the Rose” and “The Selfish Giant,” explore themes of love, sacrifice, compassion, and human folly, often with a bittersweet or tragic undertone. Wilde’s elegant prose, wit, and empathy make these tales enduring classics that appeal to both children and adults.
