About this listen

 A golden statue comes to life and, with the help of a reluctant swallow, gives away everything he has. A fierce giant forbids children to play in his garden -- then realizes that only through sharing will spring ever come again.

In these rich fables by Oscar Wilde, author of The Importance of Being Earnest, characters learn that kindness and giving are the greatest powers of all.

Any additional comments?

I liked this book of short stories because it gave pause to think about the beauty that creates a place in the imagination and to consider the moral of the story. Oscar Wilde brilliantly wrote with a political or religious thought but painted it as beautiful little story. I am now a fan of Oscar Wilde's books.
