The Star-Child by Oscar Wilde
It pains me so greatly to not give this book five stars... But there is one story in this collection that I absolutely did not enjoy and I cannot kid myself about it: The Young Prince. Something about the way it was written made it such a tedious read for me. Had it not been included, certainly I would have rated this perfectly...
Regardless, Oscar Wilde must be, presently, my favorite English author. There are some absolutely delightful short stories (fairy tales) in here, and I'm very much recommending it to everyone. I fear I am approaching the end of Wilde's standard fiction; obviously he only ever had one novel published -- that being Dorian Gray -- and this collection includes the greater portion of his published short stories. I suppose I will move on to his plays and essays, but I am now wishing that he had written more novels...
