Happy Prince and Other Stories (Collins Classics)

HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics. ‘˜Dear Prince, I must leave you, but I will never forget you, and next spring I will bring you back two beautiful jewels in place of those you have given away. The ruby shall be redder than a red rose, and the sapphire shall be as blue as the great sea.’™ In ‘˜The Happy Prince’ a statue ‘ jewelled and opulent“ keeps careful watch over the city and its inhabitants.

Enlisting the help of a swallow, his selfless acts bring comfort to those most in need. ‘˜The Nightingale and the Rose’ is a tragic tale of personal sacrifice in the name of love, while in’˜The Selfish Giant’™ the end of an eternal winter finally brings springtime and happiness. In this collection of enchanting tales from a master storyteller, Oscar Wilde has entranced readers both young and old since publication in the late nineteenth century.
