The Happy Prince and Other Tales (version 3)


Read by Phil Chenevert

(4.6 stars; 27 reviews)

A collection of five stories by Oscar Wilde, all incorporating his inimitable style and wit. Sometimes sweet and uplifting, sometimes caustic and pointed, they all are well worth listening to. The Happy Prince is a beautiful tale about a statue of a prince, but one who can now see his city and kingdom and the sadness of his people. With the help of a little swallow he does what he can to help others. The Nightingale and the Rose is a tale of self sacrifice, selfishness and misunderstanding. The Selfish Giant learns a valuable lesson about the laughter of children, The Devoted Friend is a caustic tale about false friendship, and The Remarkable Rocket explores the self delusion of people (and rockets) who think the world revolves around them.

Amazing short story collection 📚 I liked Oscar Wilde after reading The Happy Prince some two years back 😊 But now I fell in love with him and his stories ❤ They're so touching 🤗 My personal fav from this collection was The Nightingale and the Rose⚘ And...and....outstanding narration 🎙

Beautiful tales, beautifully read


(5 stars)

Thanks to Phil Chenevert for introducing me to Wilde's beautiful, thoughtful fairy tales, of which I'd never heard before. I'd always been a fan of Andersen's sad and beautiful tales, and Wilde's match them in beauty whilst adding a dimension of social justice and morality to them, which Andersen's tales lack.

Beautiful Book Of Inner Strength
