The Happy Prince and Other Selected Stories by Oscar Wilde is a timeless collection of fairy tales and parables that blend poetic beauty with deep moral insight. Anchored by the poignant title story-where a gilded statue and a humble swallow embody selfless love and sacrifice-these tales reflect Wilde's signature wit, lyrical prose, and profound understanding of human nature. Each story, whether tender, tragic, or ironic, explores themes of compassion, vanity, justice, and the true meaning of happiness. Rich in symbolism and emotional resonance, this collection reveals Wilde's genius not only as a master of satire and drama, but also as a deeply empathetic storyteller whose tales continue to touch hearts across generations.
