With an Introduction by the editor.

Oscar Wilde is a genius. His social satire is as crisp and hilarious as it was when it very first appeared. He is one of the very very first literary loves of my life. (I was reading his stuff before I even understood many of the references, while still loving his sharp language and witty repartee!) This is an excellent collection of his works - really well-done and well-edited. I highly recommend him.

Oscar Wilde is a master and writing is his art. His works--and indeed words--contain the many shades of humor, poetry, psychology and philosophy. He has a tongue-in-cheek way of narrating stories, usually keeping the reader on their toes (except when they're rolling on the floor laughing) but never alarming or abandoning them and never for a moment causing them to wish to put the book down. He is a legend, and his works are undeniably classics.
In this one book is contained all his life's works: prose, poetry and even essays. However long or short, all his writings are really fun to read. He has a way with words--his signature style, if you will--that not even a handful of other authors in this world can mimic. In that regard, he is second to none. The book also features several (black and white) photographs of Oscar Wilde as a bonus.
I highly and wholeheartedly recommend this book for every library and every fan of classic literature. I also suggest you buy the hardcover version of this book for just a couple bucks more if you're worried about wear and tear.

a most wonderful and pleasant reading throughout...i borrowed the book from the library very first and while reading it decided that i have to have a copy near me so that i can pick it up any time i want. the only slight is that the dust jecket has a different photo of the author, the one on the older edition is much better. a great book.
