Book Summary –
The Happy Prince and Other Stories is a collection of touching and imaginative tales by Oscar Wilde, each blending beauty, sorrow, and moral insight. The title story, “The Happy Prince,” follows a golden statue who, with the help of a kind-hearted Swallow, gives away all he has to relieve the suffering of the poor, ultimately sacrificing himself out of compassion. Other stories in the collection—such as “The Nightingale and the Rose,” “The Selfish Giant,” and “The Devoted Friend”—explore themes of selflessness, love, greed, innocence, and the consequences of human behavior. Wilde uses fairy-tale elements and poetic language to reveal deep truths about humanity, often ending his stories with a bittersweet blend of beauty and melancholy. Together, the tales highlight the moral power of kindness and the emotional complexity of sacrifice.

About the Author –

Oscar Wilde (1854–1900) was an Irish playwright, novelist, poet, and one of the most celebrated literary figures of the late Victorian era. Known for his dazzling wit, sharp social commentary, and stylistic elegance, he produced enduring works such as The Picture of Dorian Gray and the plays The Importance of Being Earnest and An Ideal Husband. Wilde was a leading voice in the Aesthetic Movement, which celebrated art for art’s sake, and his writing often blended humor with deeper observations about society and human nature. Despite his literary success, his career was marked by personal tragedy following his imprisonment, yet his influence and legacy remain profound, and he is remembered today as one of the most brilliant and distinctive voices in English literature.
