In The Young King, Oscar Wilde weaves a luminous and moving moral fable about beauty, power, and compassion.

On the eve of his coronation, a boy—raised as a humble shepherd—dreams three haunting visions that reveal the human suffering behind the treasures prepared for his crown and robe. Confronted with the truth that luxury is purchased by the toil and pain of others, he awakens transformed in spirit.

Rejecting grandeur and royal vanity, he walks to his coronation in simple garb, crowned only with a briar branch. Mocked by nobles and scorned by the crowd, he stands firm in mercy and humility. What follows is a miracle of grace and glory, where true kingship is granted not by wealth or power, but by purity of heart.

A radiant tale of sacrifice, conscience, and inner nobility, The Young King remains one of Wilde’s most soulful and spiritually profound works.

Narrated with reverence and emotional depth by Mike Polischuk, this timeless story invites listeners into a world where beauty and justice are redeemed through love, humility, and light.
