Winter’s Tales with Emeli Sandé

Emeli Sandé reads The Happy Prince and Other Stories – Oscar Wilde’s best loved stories cherished by children and adults alike. “The Happy Prince”, “The Nightingale and the Rose”, “The Selfish Giant” have been told and re-told since they were originally published in 1888, their moving and universal tales undiminished by age. The Selfish Giant inspired the recent award-winning film of the same name directed by Clio Barnard.
