The highest standards in editing and production have been applied to the Wordsworth Children's Classics, while the low price makes them affordable for everyone. Wordsworth's list covers a range of the best-loved stories for children, from nursery tales, classic fables, and fairy tales to stories that will appeal to older children and adults alike. Many of these volumes have contemporary illustrations, and while they are ideal for shared family reading, their attractive format will also encourage children to read for themselves. Like all Wordsworth Editions, these children's books represent unbeatable value. Rebecca Randall leaves her family at Sunnybrook Farm and goes to live with her two aunts in Riverboro.

Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) has perhaps attracted more critical and biographical attention in recent years than any other writer of the late-nineteenth century. Renowned for his skills in shocking a prurient bourgeoisie, he first built his career as a raconteur and stylish public speaker. This boxed set reprints the 1908 collected works together with the first trade edition of The Picture of Dorian Grey. Also included is Stuart Mason's comprehensive Bibliography of Oscar Wilde, which remains an indispensable research tool. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
