Everyone admires the Happy Prince. He is beautiful and always smiling. The poor people take hope from him, but they don’t know that he also feels their sorrow. Only the little swallow, the Prince’s true friend, knows the truth. While the other swallows fly to Egypt for the winter, he begins a different journey — one of love, kindness, and sacrifice. Follow this touching tale of friendship and compassion.
