    About this audiobook

    The Nightingale & The Rose is one of Oscar Wilde's most poignant short stories. A nightingale overhears a student lamenting that he hasn't a red rose to give to his true love, so she sets out to find a rose, but must sacrifice a great deal to get it. The Nightingale & The Rose was first published in The Happy Prince and Other Tales in 1888.
