A House Of Pomegranates

<p><i>A House of Pomegranates</i> is a collection of fairy tales by Oscar Wilde published in 1891 as a second collection after <i>The Happy Prince and Other Tales</i> (1888). Wilde stated that these stories were ...intended neither for the British child nor for the British public.</p><p>The collection contains four stories: The Young King The Birthday of the Infanta The Fisherman and His Soul and The Star-Child.
