A House of Pomegranates
is a collection of fairy tales written by Oscar Wilde and first published in 1891. It was technically a follow-up to his popular 1888 collection
The Happy Prince and Other Tales
, however he did claim the stories were intended 'neither for the British Child nor the British Public!' The collection is made up of four stories:
The Young King, The Birthday of the Infanta, The Fisherman and His Soul
and
The Star-Child.
Though the collection remains one of Wilde's lesser-known works, it is still a most interesting and entertaining read for children of the right age.
