A House of Pomegranates

A House of Pomegranates, published in 1891, is a collection of four fairy tales by Oscar Wilde, following his earlier work, The Happy Prince and Other Tales. Written as parables with a Christian undertone, these stories explore profound themes of suffering and sacrifice, though Wilde noted they were "intended neither for the British child nor the British public." The four enchanting tales are "The Young King," "The Birthday of the Infanta," "The Fisherman and his Soul," and "The Star-Child."
