I've never read anything by Oscar Wilde (except a short story in English once), but I've wanted to read this book for a really long time. This edition looks great!
Definitely want this one, too!
I absolutely LOVE "The Picture of DG", and "The Phantom of the Opera"! Amazing books 🙂
oh the cover is quite lovely!
I haven't read this book, but I love Wilde's plays, so I really should pick this up!
