About this listen

Have you ever wondered what happens when a heart closed by selfishness finally learns to love? In The Selfish Giant, Oscar Wilde tells a deeply moving and timeless tale about loneliness, kindness, and the quiet miracle of transformation. When a giant builds walls to keep children out of his beautiful garden, something strange happens—spring refuses to come. Winter lingers, cold and silent, mirroring the giant’s own hardened heart. But one small, unexpected moment changes everything....

With tenderness, warmth, and poetic beauty, Wilde weaves a story that speaks to listeners of all ages—a gentle reminder of compassion, redemption, and the power of opening our hearts to others.

Perfect for children, families, and lovers of classic literature, this audiobook invites you into a magical garden where seasons change, hearts soften, and love quietly transforms the world. Press play now and rediscover one of the most touching and unforgettable fairy tales ever written.
