The next volume in the prize-winning and greatly acclaimed complete adaptations of Wilde''s tales presents "The Devoted Friend" on what constitutes real friendship, and "The Nightingale and the Rose" a stirring story of sacrifice to love with a cruel twist.
"Wilde isn`t blatanly jeering at hypocrites or credulous fools in these stories. He is, however, suggesting that even the most genuinely beautiful surfaces shouldn`t be trusted. Russell catches this mood perfectly, not trying to overshadow Wilde but merely helping him do his disturbing work. Russell`s exquisite art has a supple ink line that`s never fussy."-Publishers Weekly-starred review
