Description

Fireworks in the drawing-room, mice in a Gloucester workshop. Wilde’s Model Millionaire and Remarkable Rocket sit beside Potter’s Roly-Poly Pudding and Tailor of Gloucester in this unabridged English audiobook — gold and a rocket’s boast against stitch and dough. Fairy Tales for Adults Volume 4 treats generosity and craft as related magics. Wit you can hear; a mouse’s dignity; a millionaire in disguise. Two kitchens of wonder, spoken as comedy and needlework.

Author

Oscar Wilde (1854–1900) was born in Dublin, took a double first at Magdalen College, Oxford, and made conversation a form of literature. The Picture of Dorian Gray is the one novel — beauty, bargain, and a portrait that keeps the score. The Importance of Being Earnest is the comedy in which nothing is earnest except the jokes. Prison and exile followed the trials. Style was an ethic. Scandal became a second plot.
