First, swallows are some of my favorites. The way they fly, their little mud nests with their babies cheeping at you. I just think they're adorable.
Artwork is beautiful.
And it made me cry.

I first came across The Happy Prince as a kid. We had this monthly newsletter in Chinese, specially for children, that my mum made me read (because my grasp of the Chinese language was horrendously absmal. It still is to this day.)
I didn't think much about it, but I happened to read it again in one of Mr Wilde's collection of short stories in English a few months ago, and it stuck itself persistently in my mind.
People these days unfortunately care about and value the superficial, and The Happy Prince is a bittersweet celebration of the little things in life that seem unimportant at first glance, but are of utmost significance in one's life.

This is such a cute classic short story with a great message, I love Oscar Wilde ❤️
It was a good novel with a happy ending and for that I liked the story.

I remember reading this when I was in 5th grade for school and absolutely loved it, several years later I was looking for more books from Oscar Wilde because I loved the picture of Dorian gray so much. I was so surprised when I realized the book I loved so much was written by the same author. Glad to be reunited with the author whos work I instantly fell inlove with
