The Happy Prince and Other Tales

"e;I like to do all the talking myself. It saves time, and prevents arguments."e; Similar to Hans Christian Andersen fairy-tales (but with trademark witticisms), 'The Happy Prince and Other Tales' (1888) by Oscar Wilde are children's stories that are a great ride for people of all ages. The collection includes five stories, "e;The Happy Prince"e;, "e;The Nightingale and the Rose"e;, "e;The Selfish Giant"e;, "e;The Devoted Friend"e;, and "e;The Remarkable Rocket"e;. They have inspired a long list of adaptations such as a Bee Gees song, an Orson Welles radio show, and a Christopher Plummer movie.
