A quick read in between.

As usual, beautiful wordings laced nicely with hypocrisies.

Those tales/stories were so heart-wrecking. Even if they are all about morale, I feel they were so unfair and sad. None of the characters who were acting with bad habits had to pay for that, and it felt they just lived their lives like before and didn't learn anything. Only the reader might learn and see the morals in the tales.
The writing of Oscar Wild is very beautiful and poetically!

"The fact is, that I told him a story with a moral"
"Ah! That is always a very dangerous thing to do."


This took me back to warm nights, huddled in the dark with half-remembered tales being whispered.

A great and renowned collection of fables that live up to being written by Oscar Wilde. The Selfish Giant is a specific story I hold close to my heart from childhood, but the Happy Prince and the rest of the stories were nothing short of magnificent as well.
