Rating:  - the complete fairy tales of oscar wilde
OH! what a joy to have found these. i am a fan of the fabulous mr. wilde and i wasn't aware that he wrote fairy tales. they are deeply touching and made even more so when you realize that he wrote them for his children.
Rating:  - Enjoyable read
I recently bought this on a lark - it's an enjoyable read & Wilde's style is perfectly suited for creative fairy tales.

Rating: - my favorite work by WIlde
My introduction to WIlde was through his dramatic work. I thought it was dull and dated. SO I assumed he was over rated and ignored his work for years. A few moths ago one of my homies was raving about Pictures of Dorian grey so I gave it a go. I found the first half to be very impressive, the second half wasnt bad either. I was glad to know that Wilde had earned his rep. I wasnt even aware of his fairy tales. wowza! homie can write! this is the strongest work ive read by him. each tale ... Read More
Rating: - Sublime and Beautiful
Oscar Wilde has an eloquence that involves and transports the reader to magical lands that he in his mind has envisioned for us; lands where love, goodness, and kindness are the victors. I have often thought that we have left the best of us behind us, and Mr. Wilde is a prime example of this.
If you allow his powerful mastery of words for imagery and emotion to capture your heart and imagination, you will enjoy his literary works quite well.
