Description
A stern giant returns to find that the children who once played in his beautiful garden are no longer welcome, leaving the grounds silent and barren. As the seasons pass, he begins to question his isolation and the cost of keeping others at a distance. This tender fairy tale explores selfishness, compassion, transformation, and the restorative power of kindness, told with Oscar Wilde’s characteristic lyricism and moral insight.
