In Oscar Wilde’s cherished fable, a solitary giant builds a high wall around his lush garden to exclude children. With the youngsters banished, the enchanted grounds remain in perpetual winter, frozen and silent.
One morning, a single child slips past the barrier and brings Spring’s gentle warmth back to the garden. Through this simple act, the giant’s heart thaws along with the snow, revealing a profound lesson in compassion and humility.
First published by Putnam’s in 1995, this hardcover edition invites readers to revisit Wilde’s lyrical prose. The design emphasizes readability and captures the magic of the original tale across 32 pages.
Ideal for family reading or individual reflection, The Selfish Giant continues to resonate with audiences seeking a moving story about generosity, renewal and the enduring value of kindness.
