The selfish giant

So often an author is known for only a small portion of their work. Sometimes this is because they have produced a masterpiece that eclipses everything else they have done and sometimes their works are so voluminous that only the most dedicated fan reads them all. I'm sure some of these will be familiar but hopefully some will be new. So here are ten lesser known works by great authors. If you have any gems by famous authors you think have been overlooked pop them in the comments.

The Selfish Giant by Oscar Wilde

Animated film of the story by Oscar Wilde. A giant, who finds children from the village playing in his beautiful garden, chases them away and builds a high wall around his estate. Then Spring leaves the garden and Winter returns and remains there permanently until the children manage to slip through a hole in the wall. Spring then returns. The giant mellows and allows the children to play in his garden whenever they want.
