This book contains short stories and fairy tales by Oscar Wilde, including the famous 'The Canterville Ghost,' 'The Happy Prince,' 'The Star-Child,' and 'The Nightingale and the Rose.' Wilde's stories combine romance and social satire; they are ironic and slightly sad, full of grace and wit. His tales, written for adults, reach deep into the heart, compelling us to reflect on the most important questions of existence and learn about 'what is reasonable, what is kind, what is eternal.' A special place here is occupied by the astonishing novella 'The Canterville Ghost'—a playful parody of Gothic literature, a touching story about a ghost doomed to live forever in a castle, who finds compassion in the beautiful Miss Virginia, who helps him find eternal peace.
