These five fables are edged with darkness, but gleam with the trademark wisdom of one of Victorian literature’s greatest minds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the unforgettable ‘The Nightingale and the Rose’, a young student yearns to be loved by his professor’s beautiful daughter, but his quest to capture her heart will come at a terrible cost. In ‘The Happy Prince’, a golden, decorated statue selflessly takes himself apart to gift his jewels to the poor people of the city he overlooks. ‘The Devoted Friend’ powerfully criticizes self-interest and questions what defines true friendship, and ‘The Star-Child’ and ‘The Model Millionaire’ reveal, fantastically, that appearances may not always reflect the truth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis series of pocket-sized paperbacks celebrates the art of the short story and marks Macmillan Collector’s Library’s 10th anniversary. Each contains a curated selection of short stories from a literary giant: Katherine Mansfield, Arthur Conan Doyle, Edgar Allan Poe, Oscar Wilde, Jane Austen, James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, Alice Dunbar Nelson, F.
