The Happy Prince and Other Stories (sometimes called The Happy Prince and Other Tales) is a collection of stories for children by Oscar Wilde first published in May 1888. It contains five stories:
'The Happy Prince’,
'The Nightingale and the Rose’,
'The Selfish Giant’,
'The Devoted Friend’, and
'The Remarkable Rocket’.
Each tale is beautifully told and the book contains 12 full colour plates plus numerous Bn W in text illustrations which add to the beauty of the stories.
This book has proved so popular that a radio drama adaption was made by Columbia Workshop was broadcast on 26 December 1936. In 1941 Orson Welles and The Mercury Theatre broadcast a version on their 'Christmas Show’. Another radio version was broadcast in the Philco Radio Hall of Fame on 24 December 1944. This featured Orson Welles (narrator), Bing Crosby (as The Prince) and Lurene Tuttle as The Swallow.
A record album called The Happy Prince was recorded and issued in 1946 by American Decca Records, with Orson Welles narrating and Bing Crosby as the Prince.
In 1968 the Bee Gees publish the song 'When the Swallows fly’ with clear references to The Happy Prince tale. An animated film adaptation of the story was produced in 1974, starring Glynis Johns as the swallow and Christopher Plummer as the Prince.
Adaptations have continued over the years, the most recent in 2019; Viki produced an adaption of the manga “Zattai Kareshi” by Yuu Watase. The show features numerous references to “The Happy Prince” even featuring a children’s story book of the tale.
This no doubt not the end for this superb children’s book.
