E-text prepared by Louise Hope from page images generously made available by Internet Archive (http://www.archive.org) "The Happy Prince, and Other Tales" by Oscar Wilde is a collection of children's stories written during the late 19th century. The book explores themes of love, sacrifice, and the struggles between beauty and hardship, with each tale offering a moral lesson through poignant narratives and memorable characters. In "The Happy Prince," the story follows a gilded statue that overlooks a city, lamenting the suffering of its citizens. With the help of a compassionate swallow, the statue sacrifices its riches to help those in need, ultimately leading to its own deterioration and the swallow's demise. Other tales included in the collection, such as "The Nightingale and the Rose" and "The Selfish Giant," similarly delve into the complexities of love, friendship, and generosity, emphasizing the importance of empathy and selflessness. Each story is beautifully wrought with vivid imagery and a deep sense of morality, making this collection a timeless reflection on human experience and emotion.
