Customer Reviews
Romantic, touching, beautiful writing
The fairy tales of Oscar WIlde absolutely stand out among modern fantasy writers. This book contains each one of his work with reasonable price. Stories are filled with dreamful colours blend with notable "the Wilde irony", truly touch sensitive hearts, pointing out weakness of humanity. My favorite of all times!
amazing
These are an example of Wilde at his best and are a wonderful mixture of irony and wit, beauty and nature. I had always been contemptious of classic fairy tales, diskliking their 'perfectness'. However, Wilde manages to combine the magical feeling and description of the classic tales with his own touch of satirical humour. These are a wonderful collection of short stories and ones you can read over and over. Buy them.
