Detailed explanation-1: -The Happy Prince Summary – Once in a town there lived a prince. He was called the Happy Prince because he had been happy all his life. After his death, his statue was erected on a tall pedestal in the middle of the town. The statue was covered with gold and had two precious sapphire stones embedded in the eyes.
Detailed explanation-2: -It is often said that Oscar Wilde wrote The Happy Prince for his children, but I have my doubts. Wilde first told the story to a group of Cambridge students and read it to his son later, but rather than reaching out to children, the tale remains firmly entrenched in an embittered adult world.
Detailed explanation-3: -A film called The Happy Prince was produced as a biographical drama based on Wilde’s life (2018). The Happy Prince is the first in a collection of five short stories for children; The Selfish Giant, The Nightingale and the Rose, The Devoted Friend, The Remarkable Rocket.
