Oscar Wilde
Oscar Wilde — 6 titles in the rankings, first published between 1887 and 1899. They average 7.8 — level with the catalogue as a whole.
Editor’s note The Picture of Dorian Gray, his only novel, is the most-read; The Importance of Being Earnest, a short comedy, is his best-rated work and the quickest way into his wit. The fairy tales of The Happy Prince are a good third choice, readable in an evening.
