A House of Pomegranates by Oscar Wilde

This collection of four fairy tales explores themes of love, sacrifice, vanity, and redemption. Each story is filled with rich, poetic language and features princes, enchanted objects, and moral transformations. The tales—“The Young King,” “The Birthday of the Infanta,” “The Fisherman and His Soul,” and “The Star-Child”—combine dreamlike beauty with poignant lessons. The plots are emotional and symbolic, drawing from myth and folklore. It’s a dark, elegant follow-up to The Happy Prince and Other Tales.
