Editorial Review:

When "Lady Windermere's Fan" opened in 1892, it ran for 150 performances. The play contains many of Oscar Wilde's most quoted aphorisms. To this day, it continues to be revived frequently. The music supplementing the readings is by Beethoven and Johann Baptist Cramer.

Summary: Great edition - delightful and charming!
Comment: Great edition - delightful and charming! This is a funny play!!! I'm nuts about Wilde, and have the good fortune to watch this play nearby where I live, it reminded me to read it again, and I ordered this version from Amazon as part of a larger Wilde order, (I think I bought all his works!).

There is no sense writing about this fantastic play - its so funny, the satire is right on the mark, the wit still as fresh today as it was when first written, I just wanted to say that this is a very good edition, and I especially enjoyed the cover photo of Wilde looking the way we all remember him.

PS if you have the chance see his grave stone in Paris. Beautiful Art Deco!

Summary: Pefect Edition!
Comment: I'm not going to add much in the review sense, just mention to those who were unhappy with their kindle book, that is is the real, full, hard copy, and a beautiful edition it is!

Wilde is wonderful, and this is one of his best plays. I've seen it a few times, but never tire of reading it. The wit, the barbs, are timeless!

Enjoy!

Summary: Kindle version is 5 pages long; don't bother
Comment: As much as it pains me to give a Wilde play one star, it had to be done. The version I downloaded (and I tried twice) is only 5 pages long, and ends immediately after the cast of characters.

Summary: Lady Vandermere's Fan
Comment: I was very satisfied with this product and the speed with which it was delivered. I gave it as a Christmas gift to my grandson, who is a student at NYU and who requested it for Christmas. I was very happy with my purchase!

Summary: Cecil Graham , the cynical hero
Comment: Melodramatics from Lady Windermere. Mrs. Erlynne and Lord Windermere meeting but incomprehensibly deaf to the rumors about them. Yes, this is not Oscar Wilde's best play but, oh, the zingers he does get in, namely through Cecil Graham. Example: "Well, there's nothing in the world like the devotion of a married woman. It's a thing no married man knows anything about." Read it for the pithy lines.
