Book summary

The beautiful gilded statue of the happy prince overlooks the town, but the poverty and misery he sees make him very sad. He asks a swallow to gradually pluck the jewels and gold from him to aid those who are suffering. This is a classic story by Oscar Wilde, dramatically illustrated.
