Oscar Wilde, despite his and reputation for insouciant witticisms, wrote some of the most moral, most beautiful and most heartbreaking fairy tales in the English canon. Here is the best known of them, "The Happy Prince". It is set to Claude Debussy's "Claire de Lune" as, to me, the music evokes the same beauty-to-the-point-of-pain-in-the-heart as the story itself. It is a calm delivery, perhaps more suited for relaxing before bed than for the entertainment of more invigorating yarns. If the story is less captivating than others, than I hope at least the make up will suffice to beguile.

  • @CoDrulezZ12 1) death threats are a violation of youtube's Terms of Service. Be careful! 2) I do? what color? I hope it's robin's egg blue to compliment my make up!

  • My favorite's the Star Child. A House of Pomegranates will always be my most cherished book, I wouldn't give it up for the world.

  • I love the Star Child too! I will go look for A House of Pomegranates now...

  • You should read the Nightangale and the rose.

  • Yes. Absolutely heartbreaking. Wilde was a bit sadistic on that one.
