| Summary |
Oscar Wilde was a prolific and spontaneous storyteller who once declared, "I cannot think otherwise than in stories." Here are a handful of his shorter works that demonstrate his range, versatility, and skill as a storyteller, too often overshadowed by his reputation as a dramatist, critical theorist, and novelist. Wilde shows his wit in the social parodies "The Canterville ghost," "Lord Arthur Savile's crime", "The sphinx without a secret," and "The model millionare." In "The portrait of Mr. W.H.," he identifies the mysterious dedicatee of Shakespeare's sonnets. Finally, the collection is rounded out by a selection of well known fairy tales, including "The happy prince," "The nightingale and the rose," "The selfish giant," and "The devoted friend." |
