The Happy Prince and Other Tales
“High above the city, on a tall column, stood the statue of the Happy Prince. He was gilded all over with thin leaves of fine gold, for eyes he had two bright sapphires, and a large red ruby glowed on his sword-hilt.”`The Happy Prince and Other Tales` is a collection of five stories: `The Happy Prince`, `The Nightingale and the Rose`, `The Selfish Giant`, `The Devoted Friend`, and `The Remarkable Rocket`. `The Happy Prince` stars the statue of the Prince, who persuades a swallow to deliver his gold and jewels to the poor and needy in his city.
