Advantages: all the works of Oscar Wilde are included (prose, critisicm, drama, poetry), affordable edition Disadvantages: the edition is liable to tear and wear, it is not aesthetically appealing

I cannot find a single line of Wilde that is boring, poorly written. If you want to read an elegantly written yet profound and touching book you can do no better. I was initially going to award this with 5 stars but it ... ...the works of a celebrated aesthete sold for £4.99. Wilde adored beauty and elegance and this edition is not in keeping with his artistic credo. It is obviously cheap, vulnerable to tear and wear and impractical to carry around -it is not so very heavy as the paper is thin but I find that carrying it around and reading it in trains results to tears (mostly of the pages).
However contrary to my idol I believe that it is better to read a masterpiece ...
