The Selfish Giant

By Oscar Wilde · Narrated by Isabella · 9 min · 1 chapter

A giant walls off his beautiful garden so that children can no longer play there, and winter settles over it all year long. Only when he opens the gate again — and shows kindness to one small child who cannot climb the trees — does the garden return to spring.

Oscar Wilde's tender fairy tale, first published in 1888, is a short story of selfishness, repentance, and grace. This recording is the complete story.
