QR code
"The Happy Prince, and Other Tales" by Oscar Wilde is a collection of stories published in May 1888. This work contains five tales that blend beauty with moral lessons, exploring themes of sacrifice, selfishness, and compassion. A gilded statue and a devoted swallow give everything to help the poor. A nightingale sacrifices her life for love, only to see it discarded. A giant discovers the cost of his cruelty. Each story reveals
how generosity and selflessness transform lives, while also exposing society's blindness to true value. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
