I love Oscar Wilde's style. Everything he writes is enchanting, magical and funny. These short stories were original and a perfect feel good read. #serialreader

Some of these were a reread, a few were new to me. I love Oscar Wilde! I enjoyed these stories this morning.

Okay, so I am yet to find out how Litsy works exactly but in the meantime I decided to take my good friend's advice and be myself, although I hear that 'being natural is simply a pose.'

julesG Just be yourself. You are among friends and fellow bookish people. 5y
scripturient People who hang out with Oscar are Litsy people. ;) Hope you enjoy this place! Just let me know if you need help. 😘 5y

Helping my daughter with book report. I have read those stories to see what is about to help her. I think it is a little difficult for 6th grade.

I am reading Oscar Wilde just for fun... the story about The Happy Prince is so wonderfully written. The Prince and his friend give everything they have to the poor people in the village and they demand nothing in return... nobody even seem to care who the giver of the gifts is. That's what makes the story so wonderful... where do you have such unconditional love?

I like it how Wilde eloquently told sad stories using beautiful allegories.

#septphotochallenge I'm not super into #shortstories. I had to read a collection for my library's summer reading program, and I had to try several before I found one I could tolerate. And even then I didn't love it. But I got this collection to read to my kids when we are in between novels. Interesting stories, though I'm not sure my kids really "get" them. #kiddielit #readalouds
