Onnellinen prinssi: Ynnä muita kertomuksia

A set of fairy tales follows a gilded city statue that enlists a passing swallow to distribute its jewels to relieve urban suffering, a selfish giant whose walled garden is restored by children's innocence, a nightingale that sacrifices itself to create a red rose for a lovelorn student, a presumed friend whose self-interest undermines a poor man's generosity, and a vain rocket that refuses humility. Each story contrasts outward pomp and rhetoric with genuine compassion and self-sacrifice, using simple fable form and bittersweet irony to critique vanity, social indifference, and false friendship.
