Daniel Guerreiro (dannycolher) | 1 comments I just got this Oscar Wilde collection
THE OSCAR WILDE COLLECTION

And noticed that out off the 5 books in the collection, 2 of them don't have these specific editions listed.

1
*Title: The Happy Prince And Other Stories
*Author: Oscar Wilde
*ISBN: 978-1-3988-1931-3
*Publisher: Arcturus Publishing Limited
*Publication date: 2022
*Format: Paperback
*Page Count: 309
*Description:

Inspired by the Irish fairy tales of his childhood, Oscar Wilde's imaginative story-telling incorporates a variety of genres - from mystery to fantasy and the supernatural. This anthology also demonstrates the serious social and artistic concerns which run throughout his fiction.

From 'The Happy Prince', a tender story about friendship and compassion, to 'The Remarkable Rocket', a cautionary tale about o deluted, self-important firework, Wilde's aesthetic preoccupations are evident in every line. Witty, wise, big-hearted, and sometimes melancholy, these writings are a testament to his standing as a literary genius of the Victorian age.

2
*Title: The Ballad Of Reading Gaol And Other Poems
*Author: Oscar Wilde
*ISBN: 978-1-3988-1854-5
*Publisher: Arcturus Publishing Limited
*Publication date: 2022
*Format: Paperback
*Page Count: 237
*Description:

In 1895, Oscar Wilde was sentenced to two years' hard labour after being convicted for gross indecency. In 'The Ballad of Reading Gaol' he recounts the torments, both mental and physical, he endured during those trying years.

This collection includes several of his other greatest poems, such as 'The Burden of Itys', 'Ravenna', and 'The Garden of Eros'. By turns touching, optimistic, heart-breaking, and thought-provoking, the poems draw upon both Wilde's own experiences and his interpretations of Irish myths and legends.

At times satirical and witty, yet also acutely observant, Oscar Wilde's voice continues to captivate readers to this day.
