This is a story a bit strange but fun. I liked the three dreams that the king had and I think a story is not necessarily just for kids, everyone can enjoy reading.
Oh, I just love how Wilde can mould two opposite ideas in a single story and even then make it interesting.
This one's a parable about a young King who doesn't want his riches and his crown. All he wants is that the divide between the rich and the poor to disappear away. Ideas like monarchy, greed and poverty are explored in a rather beautiful way. However, such a wonderful tale has been dulled by a fairy-tale like end in which Wilde has a preachy tone regarding Christianity. It could have been avoided. However, the entire story is just brilliant. Definitely worth reading!
