“But the Spring never came, nor the Summer. The Autumn gave golden fruit to every garden, but to the Giant’s garden she gave none.” (The Selfish Giant, p. 35).

This is one of the many beautiful images that Oscar Wilde’s fairy tales evoke. The Happy Prince and The Selfish Giant are two of Oscar Wilde’s most famous fairy tales. Published in 1888, they have constantly been reprinted and illustrated. They both share topics like compassion, social issues, and life and death. Both stories evoke beautiful and fantastic imagery, contain powerful symbols, and remain faithful to the fairy tale genre.

Come explore with me these two stories in an interactive lesson that is full of beautiful pictures. We will talk about the plot, characters, and main themes of the stories in a relaxed and fun way! You don’t need an advanced level of English. I’ll adapt this lesson to your needs.
