The Star-Child

“The Star-Child” is a magnificent fairy tale by Oscar Wilde, telling of the incredible transformations that befall a boy found in the forest. With beautiful looks, he was cruel and proud; he enjoyed hurting everyone around him—for which, soon, he had to pay. Many trials were destined for him, and having passed them, he was able to find his true beauty. Everyone should read this instructive fairy tale with elements of a philosophical parable.
