The Happy Prince

[calzephyr]

It might surprise some to realize that Oscar Wilde wrote a few fairy tales in addition to his books and plays. A friend was looking for a tear jerker, so I suggested the animated version of The Happy Prince, narrated by Christopher Plummer. The only versions on YouTube are a little blurry, but it doesn't detract from the bittersweet tale of love and compassion.

Is that the one about the statue of the prince, and the swallow that stays with it?

Oh gosh I have been wondering what this was for ages now. I saw this very one as a kid and liked how dark it was. I did not know what it was called. I loved the swallow's adorable voice. Thanks for sharing. Long search over.

Also I got your package today. Thank you so much. I loved all the cute art. I put a pic on DA. You'll see it. You should get a mention for it. It's on my photo account Sorath-Rising.
