About this audiobook

Every afternoon after school, the children play in the Giant's beautiful garden. The Giant comes home from a long visit and chases them out, and puts up a wall and a sign: trespassers will be prosecuted. After that, spring comes to every garden but his. Snow and frost move in and stay. Oscar Wilde's short tale of selfishness and change is one of the most loved in The Happy Prince and Other Tales. Nathan Edwards reads it in fourteen minutes. A good story for children and adults, and a good one to read aloud together.
