 | The Picture of Dorian Gray (Penguin Popular Classics) by Oscar Wilde
Buy new: £2.16 / Used from: £0.01 Hugely criticised for being too immoral, this novel actually does the opposite, showing Dorian's life and the way he ends up would have been like a warning to the 1890s reader!! I love this book!
