Collection of Wilde Short stories, written before his plays, and well before the trial. H. L. Mencken essay praises Wilde's art, damns his lack of honor and arrogance that let to his trial and his ruin. Interesting evaluation of Wilde as an artist of great force, and at the same time, weakness. H. L. Mencken reminds us that Wilde was "news" and news that had stayed "news".
Kutcher's beautiful illustrations are seen throughout.
