Reviews

[Sophie Crane · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of the most beautiful short stories ever written with a good message.
No contemporary work comes close.

[Ben · Rating 3 out of 5]

Three stories, the title story taken from Wilde's first collection of children's stories of the same name, and two, 'The Star Child' and 'The Young King', taken from the follow-up, A House of Pomegranates. All three are superb fairy tales, comparing well with much older and more well-known fairy stories. However, only the first two work in this retelling. The last is strangely lacking in power and energy.

very sad swallow

[Ratanakhengpeknas Pek]

This is very sad story because this is also my lesson so I studied it. I want to read and bring some good guidelines for me. Thanks!
