Complete Shorter Fiction by Oscar Wilde

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.

Oscar Wilde (1854-1900), a poet and playwright, is best remembered for his 1890s comedies, such as The Importance of Being Earnest, as well as his sad imprisonment and premature death.
