Wilde&#39;s second book of fairy tales, &quot;A House of Pomegranates&quot;, is intended for reading to children but has a message for adults, too. However, Wilde once said that this collection was &quot;intended neither for the British child nor the British public.&quot;&nbsp;<br /><br />&quot;A House of Pomegranates&quot; was published as a second collection for &quot;The Happy Prince and Other Tales&quot; (1888) and it includes the clever but enchanting parody <i>The Fisherman and His Soul</i>.<br /><br />Other stories included in this collection are as follows: <i>The Young King</i>, <i>The Birthday of the Infanta</i> and <i>The Star-Child</i>.
