Jim Reddy's Reviews > The Happy Prince and Other Stories

This is a collection of five stories for children first published in 1888. The stories are filled with metaphor and allegory exploring themes of responsibility, compassion, and self-sacrifice. They’re not very subtle and while they may have been written for children, there’s plenty of humor, irony, and satire of the absurd for adults to appreciate.

The stories:
The Happy Prince (5/5)
The Nightingale and the Rose (4/5)
The Selfish Giant (5/5)
The Devoted Friend (5/5)
The Remarkable Rocket (4/5)
