This volume also includes the full contents of Wilde's three short-fiction collections, Lord Arthur Saviles Crime and Other Stories, The Happy Prince and Other Tales and A House of Pomegranates , and all nine of Wilde's plays, including The Importance of Being Earnest, Lady Windermere's Fan, An Ideal Husband, and A Woman of No Importance.
