A review by zackyist
A House of Pomegranates by Oscar Wilde

3.0

Never having read Oscar Wilde before, this collection of short stories certainly proved to be a new kind of experience for me. Nevertheless, the fairytales did impress me with themes which remain current to this day and a much darker tone than the stories of my own childhood. The older, artistic form of English used remains easy to understand and read, especially when combined with the repetitive cycles used in the stories. Beautiful tales for the modern child and adult alike!
