A/N: This contains the pieces that were major parts of the work. It has most of the books I read and the ones that I used parts from for the research put into the book. The only thing not included here is an annotation and entry for the book of poems that I took selections from. However, all of the names of the poems were listed within the creative work when the main character used them. You can find them under those names and under Oscar Wilde if you would like to read the full pieces.

Wilde, Oscar. "The Young King." A House of Pomegranates. 1997. Kindle.

In this story, Wilde features a young man who's to become King, and he illustrates the consequences and benefits of selflessness as well as the differences between rich and poor.

Wilde, Oscar. "The Birthday of the Infanta." A House of Pomegranates. 1997. Kindle.

Wilde tells the story of a young dwarf who was sent to amuse the Infanta on her birthday; he shows how another's words and self-revelation can severely harm an individual, also pointing out, at the same time, that kindness is paramount.

Wilde, Oscar. "The Fisherman and His Soul." A House of Pomegranates. 1997. Kindle.

Here, the tale of a man who separated his soul from his body warns us to be careful what we do in the name of love, but it also points out the blessings and beauty in truly loving another person, no matter how different they may be.

Wilde, Oscar. "The Star-Child." A House of Pomegranates. 1997. Kindle.

Wilde uses the story of a selfish, adopted child to show how someone can go from cold and unforgiving to forgiven; themes of redemption ring clearly as the "Star-Child" searches for ways to right the wrongs he's done to others.

Wilde, Oscar. "The Happy Prince." The Happy Prince and Other Tales. 1997. Kindle.

This story upholds values of kindness and selflessness as a way to alleviate the suffering in the world; Wilde uses a little sparrow and a gold-covered statue with a soul as the characters to show these important virtues.

Wilde, Oscar. "The Nightingale and the Rose." The Happy Prince and Other Tales. 1997. Kindle.

Here, we see a willing sacrifice of one's own life for the sake of love and another's happiness' Wilde uses a nightingale as the primary character to illustrate the value in love and a willing sacrifice.

Wilde, Oscar. "The Selfish Giant." The Happy Prince and Other Tales. 1997. Kindle.

Wilde tells us the story of a giant who refused to share his garden with children as a play area, and we see how his selfishness brings down endless winter in his garden until he chooses to repent of his cruelty and allows the children back into the garden, thereby allowing summer to return; this illustrates how selfishness creates loneliness and coldness in those who choose it over love.

Wilde, Oscar. "The Devoted Friend." The Happy Prince and Other Tales. 1997. Kindle.

This tale shows what a true friend is not as a Linnet tells a Water-rat a tale about a little gardener and his supposed friend; in the end, we see that a true friend gives back rather than always taking, and they give aid to their friend while a false friend disappears in trouble and only takes.

Wilde, Oscar. "The Remarkable Rocket." The Happy Prince and Other Tales. 1997. Kindle.

This one has a twofold message: first, if you're always acting superior to everyone around you, you won't have any friends, but you'll make a lot of enemies, and second, if you believe you can do something, you can.

Quintus, John Allen. "The Moral Prerogative in Oscar Wilde: A Look at the Fairy Tales." 12 December 2003. Vqronline.org. 29 March 2016.

This piece illustrates the moral value to Wilde's fairy tales and works. It makes the point that the values upheld in Wilde's work were there not because of some religious reason but, mostly, because Wilde felt they were important things for children and adults to learn.

This piece explains why A House of Pomegranates and The Happy Prince and Other Tales were geared more toward adults than children; it explains how Wilde knew his audience and played to it as needed.

Nassaar, Christopher S. "Wilde's THE HAPPY PRINCE AND OTHER TALES And A HOUSE OF POMEGRANATES." Explicator 60.3 (2002): 142. Academic Search Complete. Web. 29 Mar. 2016.

In this essay, the author compares the styles and themes of various fairytales and shows how, overall, Wilde tends to blend Christianity and aestheticism together.

Winterson, Jeanette. "Why We Need Fairytales: Jeanette Winterson on Oscar Wilde." 16 October 2013. The Guardian. Web. 29 March 2016.

This article explains some of the driving factors behind Wilde's fairytales and shows why we still need fairytales today.
