A charming collection of short stories and prose. Enjoyed Wilde's sense of humor and the irony involved.

I loved ‘a picture of dorian gray’, so was way too excited to read more of his work. However, this was very uninteresting and turns out I unsurprisingly don’t enjoy fairytales!!

Ok I really loved this! Everything Oscar Wilde writes is beautiful and this was no exception. The fairytale like stories were so lovely and the canterville ghost was very witty. I am a little confused how you get ‘poems in prose’ but that did not take away from the poems themselves (and did the introduction have me crying? Yes yes it did)

I will eventually come back to it sometime. Currently more in the mood to read something else.
