The Happy Prince and Other Tales
by Oscar Wilde
This beautiful and wonderful little wonder of the book includes "The Happy Prince", "The Nightingale and the Rose", "The Selfish Giant", "The Faithful Friend" and "The Magnificent Rocket". Wilde is a man remembered for plays like The Importance of Being Ernest, works like De Profundis and the scandal that was there, and of course the painting of Dorian Gray – but in many ways this book (and a few others like him) are Wilde's true treasures. Highly recommended.
