Description
In 1888, Oscar Wilde—celebrated wit and champion of "art for art's sake"—surprised the literary world with a collection of fairy tales. But these are not simple stories for children. Beneath their lyrical beauty lies the heart of a moralist. Wilde's prose is exquisite: rich, rhythmic, and unmistakably his own . Yet in these tales, the master of epigram reveals a deeper purpose. The Happy Prince, stripped of his gold, shines with compassion. The nightingale gives her life for love. The Selfish Giant discovers redemption. Again and again, Wilde asks what society refuses to see: that the poor matter, that sacrifice ennobles, and that beauty without kindness is empty. This collection marks a turning point in Wilde's career and in Victorian literature. It bridges his early aestheticism and the great works to follow, proving that his commitment to beauty never excluded his engagement with justice. Beneath the elegance, these stories endure because they speak to the heart—and because Wilde believed that art, at its best, is for everyone.
