'Dear Prince, I must leave you, but I will never forget you, and next spring I will bring you back two beautiful jewels in place of those you have given away. The ruby shall be redder than a red rose, and the sapphire shall be as blue as the great sea.'
In 'The Happy Prince' a statue - jewelled and opulent - keeps careful watch over the city and its inhabitants. Enlisting the help of a swallow, his selfless acts bring comfort to those most in need. 'The Nightingale and the Rose' is a tragic tale of personal sacrifice in the name of love, while in 'The Selfish Giant' the end of an eternal winter finally brings springtime and happiness.
In this collection of enchanting tales from a master storyteller, Oscar Wilde has entranced readers both young and old since publication in the late nineteenth century.

Oscar Wilde, geb. 1854 in Dublin, studierte erst am Trinity College in Dublin, dann in Oxford, wo er sich mehr und mehr einem Ästhetizismus zuwandte, den er nicht nur in der Kunst, sondern auch im Leben zum Maß aller Dinge machte. 1884 heiratete er in London; zwei Söhne wurden geboren. In den folgenden Jahren entfremdete er sich zunehmend von seiner Frau und wurde sich wohl seiner homoerotischen Neigungen deutlicher bewusst. Gleichzeitig nahm sein Ruhm stetig zu; in rascher Folge entstanden Essays, sein einziger Roman 'Das Bildnis des Dorian Gray', die Märchen, Erzählungen und mehrere Theaterstücke. 1895 wurde er wegen seiner Liebesbeziehung zum jungen Lord Alfred Douglas in einen Prozess mit dessen Vater verwickelt, der ihm zum Verhängnis wurde: Wilde wurde zu Zwangsarbeit verurteilt und war nun gesellschaftlich, aber auch künstlerisch erledigt. 1897 aus seiner Einzelzelle entlassen, floh er nach Frankreich, unternahm noch einige Reisen und starb 1900 resigniert in Paris.
