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.
