"Swallow, Swallow, little Swallow," said the Prince, "will you not stay with me one night longer?" "It is winter," answered the swallow, "and the chill snow will soon be here. In Egypt the sun is warm" From his high vantage point, the glittering statue of the Happy Prince is the pride of city officials. But the Prince_s sapphire eyes are filled with tears because of the suffering he sees below. Stuck fast on his pedestal, there is nothing the gem-encrusted statue can do to help relieve the poor, until a little swallow stops to rest at his feet. The Prince persuades the bird to be his messenger, and to pluck out and carry one precious jewel after another to those in need. In order to survive the winter, the swallow must fly to a warmer place, but his love for the now-shabby Prince compels him to stay despite the consequences. Time after time, the brave little bird does all that is asked, until both he and the Happy Prince have nothing left to give. Oscar Wilde_s classic fairy tale of compassion and selflessness is given new life by Robin Muller_s exquisite illustrations in this special edition.

Badger discovers there's no place like home.
Badger loves his cozy little cottage. The door sticks and the shutters bang, but Badger doesn't mind-until a huge storm makes a mess of his house. He doesn't think he can fix the damage, so he sells the cottage to Grandmother Mouse and moves to a lovely mansion.
But Badger feels lost and lonely in his huge new house, so he's happy when Grandmother Mouse invites him to tea. He doesn't even mind fixing the sticking door. Each time Badger visits he fixes something else, and soon the little cottage is as good as new. The only problem is that it's too small for Grandmother Mouse's family to visit. But Badger can fix that, too!

The Angel Tree is the story of Kit, apprentice to the blacksmith Grimshaw. For seven long years, the boy has obeyed the demands and dictates of his tyrannical master. Kit's only pleasure is resting among the branches of an ancient tree that stands near the smithy--a tree he loves deeply.
One day, the trilling song of a sparrow attracts Kit's attention and looking up, he sees an angel. She explains that she needs Kit's help in keeping the tree from dying. Together they forge three magical tools--a dainty trowel, tiny shears, and a beautiful pitcher.
That night, Kit has a strange dream, and wakes to find the magical tools are gone. How will Kit keep the angel's tree alive?
The young boy's troubles are just beginning. He soon encounters a mysterious stranger, and has to face the wrath of Grimshaw and a raging fire. In the end, Kit learns the meaning of the angel's words, "Even in the deepest darkness, there is a silver thread of hope."
