The Nightingale and the Rose | Oscar Wilde

Yes I do I have a Nightingale and a Rose from the Oscar Wilde short story - be prepared if you read it, it‘s devastating!

I also wanted Bagheera from the Jungle Book but ended up getting a regular leopard instead on my back. I wanted a regal protector character and the leopard seemed perfect.

I also want a squid from 20,000 leagues under the sea.

Maybe if people want I can post pictures of them!

The Nightingale and The Rose is a heartbreaking story about the nature of love and sacrifice. At the beginning of the story, we are given the impression that the love between the student and the girl is a true love. Later, we are struck with the truth. Their love turns out to be a shallow one based on materialistic happiness. At the end the student gives up on his love because it was not true in the first place.

"She said that she would dance with me if I brought her red roses."

I'm not one for short stories normally, but this tragic tale is one I like to re-read often. It certainly doesn't hurt that this Barnes and Noble Collectors Edition is absolutely stunning. ?
