About this listen

The Happy Prince is a story about Swallow, a homeless boy who arrives in the big city and settles down for the night under the golden and bejewelled statue of the Happy Prince. When he looks up, he sees the statue is weeping. What could a golden Happy Prince possibly have to feel sad about?

From his view high above the city, the prince can see the suffering of the poor. He asks little Swallow to take his jewels and gold to the people who need them most. Can the statue and the boy find a way to bring happiness to everyone in the city?
