# The Happy Prince, and Other Tales

By Oscar Wilde.

"The Happy Prince, and Other Tales" by Oscar Wilde is a collection of stories published in May 1888. This work contains five tales that blend beauty with moral lessons, exploring themes of sacrifice, selfishness, and compassion. A gilded statue and a devoted swallow give everything to help the poor. A nightingale sacrifices her life for love, only to see it discarded. A giant discovers the cost of his cruelty. Each story reveals how generosity and selflessness transform lives, while also exposing society's blindness to true value. (Summary by Project Gutenberg, written by machine.)
