Product Description

Product Description
The three stories in this book are about ordinary people, people like you and me; but they find themselves in surprising situations. Lord Arthur Savile, a rich man with no enemies, finds out that he must do something terrible before he can marry. Poor young Hughie Erskine gives money to an old beggar – but the beggar is not what he seems. And Lord Murchison falls in love with a mystery woman – but what is the strange secret behind the door in Cumnor Street? --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars A literature to be enjoyed, 4 Jan 2003
This book contains 8 short stories: Lord Arthur Savile's Crime, The Canterville Ghost, The Model Millionaire, The Young King, The Fisherman and His Soul, The Portrait of Mr W.H, (and 2 stories for children:) The Happy Prince, and The Devoted Friend.
I always like the style of Wilde's writing. His is not so hard to read and the language is beautiful, you can quote so many.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Reading, 31 Mar 1999
By A Customer
After his plays, Wilde's best work is undoubtedly his short stories. More free flowing than 'A Picture of Dorian Grey,' these stories for adults are thoroughly entertaining whilst showing the extent of their author's genius.

If you like the short stories of Dahl or Forsyth, Wilde's jovial and surprising stories are even better.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent interpretation of Wilde's short stories, 1 Nov 2000
This is an unabridged interpretation of Oscar Wilde's witty shories. Among them, Canterville Ghost stands out as the best. The narrator's reading, coupled with characters' parts performance, making the story enjoyable all around.
