Publisher's Summary

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.

no voice change, harrowing delivery

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