When Wit Becomes Dull | The Happy Prince & Other Stories (Oscar Wilde) BOOK REVIEW


Listen Later

Sometimes you really can be too outlandish.

'The Happy Prince & Other Stories' by Oscar Wilde are a collection of short stories. They have a childlike feel and are almost like fairytales except the moral of the story seems to be missing or is rather bleak. I've also included my review of 'The Importance Of Being Earnest', a separate play that showcases Wilde's wit and ability to construct a humorous narrative.

Thanks to everyone for sending in kind messages about my Mum. Very much appreciated!
