Dinner party in Paris. A guest called Hermann starts to tell a story; a story about two French doctors who traveled to Andernach in Germany in 1799. The men decided to stay in a guesthouse called Red Inn – without realizing that the name of the place might have been an omen about the terrifying things that were ought to happen there that very night…‘The Red Inn’ is Honoré de Balzac’s an exciting short story first published in 1831.

Oscar Wilde supposedly said that these fables were «intended neither for the British child nor the British public». A follow-up to his first popular fairy-tale collection (`The Happy Prince and Other Tales‘), `A House of Pomegranates‘ (1891) is indeed decidedly darker and more adult. The collection includes «The Young King», "The Birthday of the Infanta, «The Fisherman of his Soul», and «The Star Child». While similar, in some ways, to the fairy-tales of Hans Christian Andersen and the Brothers Grimm these have a certain interesting Wilde flair to them that is hard to pinpoint.
