Oscar Wilde's novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, was greeted on publication by a protest at its 'immoral' subject matter, but remains one of literature's most ominous and fascinating stories. Also included in this volume are the elegant, sparklingly witty dramas for which Wilde is best known, such as The Importance of Being Earnest and Lady Windemere's Fan. In addition, this volume gathers together all his poetry; his delightful collection of fairy tales, The Happy Prince and Other Stories and his witty, sophisticated stories such as Lord Athur Savile's Crime.
