About this book

"The Happy Prince, and Other Tales" by Oscar Wilde is a collection of stories published in May 1888.

A nightingale sacrifices her life for love, only to see it discarded. A giant discovers the cost of his cruelty. Each story reveals how generosity and selflessness transform lives, while also exposing society's blindness to true value.
