This magnificent new edition of Oscar Wilde's beloved tale tells the story of the selfish giant who built a wall around his beautiful garden to keep children out. It was always winter in the garden, for no other season would venture there. Then one morning, a special child brought Spring back, and the giant's heart melted along with the snow.

That was pretty sweet! Is very short but is a funny story to enjoy, also the end was sad/happy but I loved all the story. Moreover, it is for all ages, not just children.
A beautiful poignant story of a not so selfish ‘Selfish Giant'.
Reading the first few lines took me back onto days of my childhood as I remembered having read this short story before. But the feelings that I most clearly recall makes me wonder how self absorbant and unassuming my young mind must have been. It's true what they say - the older we grow, the more we end up like the villains of the stories we'd read as kids.
