A pocket hardback edition of Oscar Wilde's short storiesOscar Wilde's way with words is given full range in this collection of short stories written between 1887 and 1891. There are ghost stories, moral tales, detective fiction and fairy stories. From the comically unsuccessful ghost in 'The Canterville Ghost' to the incompetent would-be murderer in 'Lord Arthur Saville's Crime' we are treated to the extravagance and dexterity of Wilde's wit. Particularly in the fairy stories we see the brilliance of Wilde's vision of society and human action, as each tale has both beauty and simplicity while exploring complex moral issues. These stories appeal to both child and adult with themes of Love, Truth and Sacrifice which are as relevant today as they were when they were written. Illustrated by Aubrey Beardsley, with an afterword by David Stuart Davies. | The Happy Prince & Other Stories by Oscar Wilde, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
