Perhaps you already know the story of the Canterville Ghost. The same writer, Oscar Wilde, also told five stories about Europe and Africa, and here they are. Each story asks a question: Why does the Happy Prince weep as he looks down at his city? What will it cost the little Nightingale to bring a red rose into flower for the lovesick student? What happens to the weather when the Selfish Giant shuts everyone out of his garden? Will little Hans be happy in the end that he has been a devoted friend to big Hugh, the Miller? And what happens to a Rocket who is so sensitive that he cries hot tears on the night of the firework display? The answers are not always as yoy think.
