"The Happy Prince" is a fairy-tale work that explores themes of true beauty, love, and sacrifice, set against a backdrop of societal inequality and moral corruption. Through the story of a once-spoiled prince and a compassionate swallow, it serves as a social satire that highlights issues of exploitation and materialism within Victorian society. First published in 1888, the collection also includes other allegorical tales that address similar themes of virtue and vice.
