Synopsis "The Happy Prince and Other Tales"

A timeless classic of deceptively simplistic and fantastical stories.Originally published by Oscar Wilde in 1888, The Happy Prince and Other Tales is a collection of five short stories packed with heartfelt meaning for children and adults alike. This is a fine new edition of moral tales of selflessness, friendship, sacrifice, and kindness- and the dangers of not having them.Wilde's eloquent and poetic writing makes these stories evoke a world in which tenderness and compassion are often endangered by greed, selfishness, and callousness. This new edition includes a new foreword by award-winning author Rick Wilber, and appeals to an entirely new generation of children, while imparting wisdom that withstands the test of time.

Today, he is remembered for his epigrams, his short stories, his plays, his only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, and the tragedy of his imprisonment, followed by his premature death.
