The Happy Prince & Other Stories by Oscar Wilde

In these delightful tales, Oscar Wilde employs all his grace, artistry and wit. The Happy Prince tells of the statue of a once pleasure-loving Prince which, with the help of a selfless Swallow helps people in distress. As well as The Nightingale and the Rose, The Devoted Friend and The Remarkable Rocket, this collection contains The Selfish Giant, a remarkable story of the redemptive power of love.

Oscar Wilde (1854-1900), a poet and playwright, is best remembered for his 1890s comedies, such as The Importance of Being Earnest, as well as his sad imprisonment and premature death.
