The Happy Prince is a story of a gilded statue with two bright sapphires for eyes and a large red ruby on his sword-hilt. Nevertheless he is not happy. He sees the misery in the city he loves and he persuades a swallow not to fly south but to carry the precious stones to those in need. It entails certain death to the swallow in the cold of winter, and the Happy Prince becomes so shabby that he is taken away to the foundry to be melted. But the kindness of both donor and messenger is remembered in Heaven. This tale is characteristic of the poetry and humanity contained in these enchanting stories.","brand":"Country House Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55775725715835,"sku":"10587305","price":29.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2458\/8207\/files\/orig_490401_jpg.jpg?v=1758549412","url":"https:\/\/countryhouselibrary.co.uk\/products\/oscar-wildes-the-happy-prince-the-selfish-giant-lord-arthur-saviles-crime-octopus-1980","provider":"Country House Library ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
