I am no always the biggest fan of children's literature but I loved these short stories! Wilde's wit saturates each, making you want to reread every sentence. Overall, the language is less beautiful and more simplistic than that of his the Picture of Dorian Gray, which is why I rate this collection four stars.
Minor: Death
