Extended information:

Oscar Wilde (October 16, 1854—November 3, 19), born in Dublin, Ireland, was one of the greatest writers and artists in Britain in the 19th century (Ireland, to be exact, but ruled by Britain at that time).

Wilde is full of extraordinary self-confidence and talent. Although he was extremely poor in his later years, his artistic achievements still made him a world classic artist. His fairy tales have also won the favor of readers, and Wilde is therefore known as the "prince of fairy tales".

Oscar Wilde is an advocate of the British aestheticism movement. He is an English genius who is as famous as Bernard Shaw in the 19th century. He wrote nine fairy tales in his life, but each one is the essence. His fairy tales can be compared with Andersen's fairy tales and Grimm's fairy tales.
