Poet involved
What happened
Wilde published his first collection of fairy tales, 'The Happy Prince and Other Tales,' in London, England. The stories combined delicate lyricism with moral allegory and were partly inspired by tales he told his own children.
Literary impact
This collection demonstrated Wilde's ability to fuse poetic prose with ethical and social critique, foreshadowing the moral paradoxes and aesthetic richness of his later major works.
