The Happy Prince : A Classic Fairy Tale of Kindness, Sacrifice, and Moral Wisdom

What does true happiness cost - and who is willing to give it away? Step into the luminous and heartbreaking world of "The Happy Prince" by Oscar Wilde, a timeless fairy tale that blends beauty, compassion, and quiet sacrifice. High above the city, the jeweled statue of the Happy Prince watches over human sorrow for the first time, aided by a small Swallow on a long journey south. As winter deepens, acts of kindness unfold in silence - gold is given away, jewels disappear, and love reveals itself not in words, but in selfless deeds. Beneath its fairy-tale surface, Wilde’s story offers a powerful meditation on empathy, generosity, and the unseen lives that surround us. It is a story of beauty that gives until nothing remains - and of kindness that outlives wealth, status, and time. Perfect for listeners who love classic fairy tales with emotional depth and moral meaning. Press play and rediscover a story where compassion shines brighter than gold, and true happiness is found in giving.
