Latepost: The Selfish Giant

Memory Served: Sometime between 1980 and 1985, Makati and Las Pinas

Programmed as Readers Digest animated feature, and often replayed on television. Based on Oscar Wilde's writing, the Selfish Giant is a fond memory of television as a surrogate nanny in my childhood, and liwaliw Memories' belated Easter feature. This endearing story was penned by someone now considered one of the world's greatest literary minds, but who was once vilified and condemned by a predominantly Christian conservative society.
