ISSN: 2397-9607 Issue 336 In this 336th issue of the Baba Indaba’s Children's Stories series, Baba Indaba narrates the Fairy Tale "THE HAPPY PRINCE”. In an Eastern town where a lot of poor people suffer and where there is a lot of misery, a swallow is left behind after his flock flew off to Egypt for the winter. As he flies about the city, he meets the statue of the late "Happy Prince", who on reality had never experienced true sorrow, for he lived in a palace where sorrow isn't allowed to enter. Viewing various scenes of people suffering in poverty from his high monument, the Happy Prince asks the swallow to take the ruby from his hilt, the sapphires from his eyes, and the golden leaf covering his body to give to the poor. What happens in the end? Do the people realise what the Happy Prince has done with the help of the swallow? Are they rewarded for their efforts or do the people simply not care?

Oscar Wilde's two collections of children's literature, The Happy Prince and Other Stories (1888) and A House of Pomegranates (1891), have often been marginalised in critical accounts as their apparently conservative didacticism appears at odds with the characterisation of Wilde as an amoral aesthete. In this, the first full-length study of Wilde's fairy tales for children, Jarlath Killeen argues that Wilde's stories are neither uniformly conservative nor subversive, but a blend of both. Killeen contends that while they should be read in relation to a literary tradition of fairy tales that emerged in nineteenth century Europe; Irish issues heavily influenced the work. These issues were powerfully shaped by the 'folk Catholicism' Wilde encountered in the west of Ireland. By resituating the fairy tales in a complex nexus of theological, political, social, and national concerns, Killeen restores the tales to their proper place in the Wilde canon.
