The Happy Prince, and Other Tales by Oscar Wilde
QR code
"The Happy Prince, and Other Tales" by Oscar Wilde is a collection of stories published in May 1888. This beloved work contains five tales that blend beauty with moral lessons, exploring themes of sacrifice, love, and materialism. From a jeweled statue who gives everything to help the poor, to a nightingale who dies creating a perfect rose, these stories reveal the tension between outer appearances and inner worth. Wilde crafts worlds where
selfless acts go unrecognized and true devotion is dismissed, yet redemption awaits those who give without expecting reward. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
