A review by madelinepuckett
The Happy Prince and Other Tales by Oscar Wilde
4.0
Surprisingly the first work I've read by Wilde, but I greatly enjoyed his stories. Some of the body of work was a little too fairy-tale abstract for my taste (with flowery description and fantastical elements), but the morals were all very intriguing.
In fact I found many of the themes relevant to today, especially the themes of the haves & have-nots and poverty. The Devoted Friend struck a particularly depressing tone for me, but was also quite funny.
There are lots of gems and quips embedded within this collection - The Canterville Ghost was hilarious, worth reading on its own if you get the chance.
