'Live! Live the wonderful life that is in you! Let nothing be lost upon you. Be always searchingfor new sensations. Be afraid of nothing.' Revered as a playwright, Oscar Wilde was also a successful novelist, short-story writer and poet with an impressive body of published work. Gathered together in this volume is a wonderful cross section of his literary genius, including two collections of children's stories; The Picture of Dorian Gray; and the infamous poem, The Ballad of Reading Gaol. Illustrated with beautiful, antique images from Henry Keene, Walter Crane, and Jacomb Hood, this unique edition is a worthy collector's item for any fan of Oscar Wilde or, indeed, of English literature.
