Complete Shorter Fiction | Oscar Wilde, Isobel Murray
3 posts | 8 read | 5 to read
For the first time in one volume, this complete collection of all the short fiction Oscar Wilde published contains such social and literary parodies as "Lord Arthur Savile's Crime" and "The Canterville Ghost;" such well-known fairy tales as "The Happy Prince," "The Young King," and "The Fisherman and his Soul;" an imaginary portrait of the dedicatee of Shakespeare's Sonnets entitled "The Portrait of Mr. W.H.;" and the parables Wilde referred to as "Poems in Prose," including "The Artist," "The House of Judgment," and "The Teacher of Wisdom."

"Economy is a very good thing," remarked the Duchess complacently; "when I married Paisley he had eleven castles and not a single house fit to live in."

Read 'Lord Arthur Savile's Crime' again today from this book, a great #satire on upper-class social mores *and* the conventions of detective fiction. #maybookflowers @RealLifeReading
