To quote Oscar about his stories, " They are studies in prose, put for Romance's sake into fanciful form: meant partly for children, and partly for those who have kept the childlike faculties of wonder and joy, and who find simplicity in subtle strangeness."

Oscar Wilde was whimsical, accomplished, unique and delicate with his works. These are no exception. The book entices you to partake of his vision and it captures you in the richness of it's fabrication. These are truly beautiful, enchanting stories. Enjoy!
