Customer Reviews

Not his best; not his worse

Oscar Wilde was famous for a couple of things, but we will focus on his literary works. He had a couple of extremely well received plays ("The Importance of Being Ernest") as well as the famous book "The Picture of Dorian Grey". This extremely slim book is a compilation of a few fairy tales that Oscar decided to re-write with different endings or changed the plot or location, etc. It is a mixed bag with some rather embarrassing missteps and one or two stories that I would consider just OK. By slim I mean the book clocks out at 78 pages total and the print is VERY, VERY small. Be forewarned.
