Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) is one of the world's best known and best loved authors. His perfect prose and subtle wit have been admitted throughout the world virtually since the ink was still wet on the page.

His tragic life is also well documented. He took the theatre world by storm with his witty ironic plays - The Importance of Being Earnest, Lady Windermere's Fan - but at the pinnacle of his career and his fame in society he lost a libel suit and was then himself prosecuted and thrown in Reading gaol. On his release he fled England for Paris, where he died a broken man, abandoned by friends and public alike.

Since then, his plays have been performed and read all over the world; his beautiful children's stories The Happy Prince have brought magic to the lives of successive generations and his poems, novels and essays have enthralled readers for nearly a century. They are all collected here in this splendid volume, an essential book for every home.

  • A beautilful present from a dear friend. All Wilde's works in one book. The printing characters are so small..
