One of the best pieces of literature I have ever readBy modern butterflyOne of the best pieces of literature I have ever read. No wonder its still in print 2000 years after it was written. A classic that is as relevant today as it was back then.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A Great StoryBy medenmanWilde is such a great wordsmith with such an exceptional wit its hard not to simply love his works. However; this story isnt just funny it is loaded with poignant social commentary and a moral about forgiveness that is timeless. While not a well read or loved as "The Importance of Being Earnest;" its a play that should be read and performed often.
