When the happy prince lived in his palace, behind high walls, nothing disturbed his pleasant and carefree life.

However, one day the prince stopped living. Then the rulers of the city created a beautiful statue of him from gold and precious stones and placed it at the highest point of the city. Thus, the prince began to see from above all the misery and pain of his people.

At one moment, when a swallow landed at his feet to rest before leaving for warmer countries, he begged it to stay with him as long as necessary to help the people of his city, easing their pain and suffering.

A mesmerizing and profoundly moving story...
