Oscar Wilde took London by storm with his first comedy, "Lady Windermere`s Fan". The combination of dazzling wit, subtle social criticism, sumptuous settings and the theme of a guilty secret proved a winner, both here and in his next three plays, "A Woman of No Importance", "An Ideal Husband", and his undisputed masterpiece, "The Importance of Being Earnest". This volume includes all Wilde`s plays from his early tragedy "Vera" to the controversial "Salome" and the little known fragments, "La Sainte Courtisane" and "A Florentine Tragedy".

Of course, as the genre dictates, it is full of romance, danger, and wonderful adventures.
