THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST & OTHER PLAYS -...

Designed to appeal to the book lover  the Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of
beautifully bound pocket-sized gift editions of much loved classic titles. Bound in real cloth
printed on high quality paper  and featuring ribbon markers and gilt edges  Macmillan
Collector's Library are books to love and treasure.   The four great comedies of Oscar Wilde 
Lady Windermere's Fan  A Woman of No Importance  An Ideal Husband and The Importance of Being
Earnest   were all written at the height of the controversial Irish author's powers in his last
doomed decade  the 1890s. They remain among the most-loved  and most-quoted  of all drama in
the English language. Along with Salome   his darkly decadent dramatization of the Bible story
these immortal plays have continued to pack theatres to this day  and have been adapted for
every kind of media. The plays were originally published in book form at Wilde's own insistence
the better to spread his genius wide.   Illustrated by Aubrey Beardsley  with an afterword by
Ned Halley.
