'The Happy Prince', one of Wilde's best-loved stories, tells of the attempts of a kind-hearted statue and an amorous swallow to rid their city of poverty, and of their heavenly reward. The book includes the tale of the unjust but repentant giant who discovers joy in loving others, the nightingale who is willing to die for love, and a pompous although very remarkable rocket, ready to display his talents and his ignorance. Full of splendid, joyous imagery the stories are infused with an underlying wisdom and morality. Beguilingly haunting and original, these are timeless tales that remain as popular today as when they were written over a hundred years ago.
