About this audiobook
At a royal wedding, the fireworks wait in a row to be lit. One of them, the Remarkable Rocket, is certain he is the most important thing in the kingdom. He talks of his noble birth, his delicate feelings and the great sight he will make. Everyone around him is more interested in the party.
Oscar Wilde's witty fairy tale pokes fun at vanity and self-importance. It is one of the stories from The Happy Prince and Other Tales, and it is sharper and funnier than most. Mike Polischuk reads it in half an hour.
A fine choice for listeners who like their fairy tales with a sting.
