因為這世界不夠可愛，才需要更多的良善來對待 王爾德經典童話，以圖像語言重新詮釋的絕佳版本！ ★第六屆「波隆那SM國際插畫獎」大獎作品。 ★王爾德最雋永的童話，百年來感動無數讀者的精采之作。 一隻燕子準備出發到南方過冬，卻在城市裡偶遇了快樂王子的雕像，但快樂王子非但不快樂，且充滿悲傷，因為他看見城市裡充滿了苦難的人們。「苦難，是這世界上最大的謎團」王子說。動彈不得的他，希望燕子可以幫他去救助這些苦難的人們，但是冬天眼見就要來臨了，受不了酷寒的燕子，會怎麼抉擇呢？ 《快樂王子》是文學大師王爾德最著名的作品，王子與燕子之間的愛、他們對苦難人們的同情與同理，百年來感動了全世界無數的讀者。本書是由英國插畫家梅希．派樂地．薛林（Maisie Paradise Shearring）改寫並繪製插圖，她獨特的色彩與奔放的線條，以及獨具創意的把小燕子擬人化，加進現代生活的各種趣味活動，吃冰淇淋、喝飲料度假等等，不僅非常可愛，讓讀者更有共鳴，也讓這部歷經百年而不墜的經典童話，有了一個新穎且令人欣喜的面貌。 好評力薦 杜明城（台東大學兒童文學研究所教授） 海狗房東（繪本工作者） 海苔熊（心理學作家） （依姓名筆劃排列） 推薦短語 《快樂王子》是王爾德對世道的批判或諷刺嗎？或許可以這麼想，但有沒有這種可能呢……並不是因為人性可愛、人間盡皆真善美，才值得溫柔以待，或許正是人性有瑕、人間有難，溫柔才有著力之處。 ──海狗房東（繪本工作者） 這一本繪本所描述的「快樂王子」，其實就是一個透過幫助別人來看見自己的故事。王子不斷地犧牲奉獻，但是他還是不快樂；而燕子也在颳風下雪當中，幫他四處奔波。故事的最後，因為燕子的一個吻，快樂王子用鉛做的心臟終於裂開。我的理解是，這裡講了一個非常深、非常特別的感覺是：有些時候我們透過心疼、關懷別人，來心疼那個在心裡面很久都沒有被好好照顧的自己。 ──海苔熊（心理學作家）

Shortlisted for the ‘Best book for children 5-8 years old’ - Made for Mums Awards 2018In a town where a lot of poor people suffer and where there are a lot of miseries, a swallow who was left behind after his flock flew off to Egypt for the winter, meets the statue of the late ‘Happy Prince’, who in reality has never experienced true sorrow, for he lived in a palace where sorrow isn’t allowed to enter. Viewing various scenes of people suffering in poverty from his tall monument, the Happy Prince asks the swallow to take the ruby from his hilt, the sapphires from his eyes, and the golden leaf covering his body to give to the poor. As the winter comes and the Happy Prince is stripped of all of his beauty, his lead heart breaks when the swallow dies as a result of his selfless deeds and severe cold. The statue is then brought down from the pillar and melted in a furnace leaving behind the broken heart and the dead swallow and they are thrown in a dust heap. These are taken up to heaven by
