A House of Pomegranates (1891) is the title of the second collection of Fairy Tales by Oscar Wilde. This book contains four tales: 1. 'The Young King'; which is about taking responsibility. 2. 'The Birthday of the Infanta'; a commentary on the unfeeling behaviour of the upper classes. 3. 'The Fisherman and his Soul'; is about the triumph of love in adversity. And 4. 'The Star-Child'; which is about responsibility and doing what is right despite the cost.
