Features: For over a century, children across the world have listened to the beautiful fairy tales in The Happy Prince. "Sympathy for the poor and the sublime soul reflected in the work," "the melodious tone," and "the rich and magnificent language" (all quoted from Ba Jin) have moved countless readers, enriching them with genuine artistic appreciation. This classic collection of fairy tales by Oscar Wilde, an aestheticist who advocated "art for art's sake," is a masterpiece of exquisite prose, brilliant and flawless. Mr. Ba Jin's translation is equally vivid and invaluable, bringing readers into a magical world and teaching them the essence of truth, goodness, and beauty.
