Oscar Wilde: The Selfish Giant

Today's founding session of our small literary circle started with a debate about a short story written by Oscar Wilde. The Selfish Giant, to sum it up, was a written for kids and adults alike. For kids it is a fairy tale, but adults will see there is more to the story. It is unequivocally based on Bible, as most of Oscar Wilde's short stories. (By reading "The Picture of Dorian Grey", by the way, one would not expect him to be so religious.) Personally, I was not able to get the meaning of all the details. But maybe all the details were not meant to have a hidden, complex meaning, but just provided framework for the fairy tale.
Anyway, this is the kind of story, I would like to read to my kids one day.
