About this listen

Five fables: "The Happy Prince", "The Nightingale and the Rose", "The Selfish Giant", "The Devoted Friend", "The Remarkable Rocket". Each illustrates a moral, contrasting fake with real, selfishness with unselfishness, though Wilde wrote "I like to fancy that there may be many meanings in the tale".

First published in 1888.

It felt like I was listening to King Lear reading Oscar Wilde stories. You only hear the voice, not the story.

no voice change, harrowing delivery
