About the Author
Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) was born in Dublin and is remembered for a diverse literary output that included his novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray; stories for children; poetry; plays, including The Importance of Being Earnest; and a wide-ranging selection of essays and other prose works. Despite being highly celebrated in literary and social circles, he was tried for gross indecency and sentenced to two years' imprisonment. He died in penury in Paris.

Gyles Brandreth is a writer, broadcaster, actor, former MP, and Government Whip, best known as a reporter on The One Show on BBC 1 and a regular on Radio 4's Just a Minute. He recently played Lady Bracknell in The Importance of Being Earnest. His many books include political diaries and a series of detective stories, The Oscar Wilde Mysteries, now published in twenty-two countries.
