“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.” – Oscar Wilde
I have great respect and admiration for Oscar Wilde. I also really love his works, but my all-time favourite is “The Happy Prince.” I first heard the story when I was small, then saw the animated short in Elementary. I cried every time. I have a copy now, that I treasure, and cry every time I read it. ♥

I too love Oscar Wilde ~ thank you for this great post, and for selecting one of the best photos of him! Cheers ~Gina
My pleasure. ♥
I’ve never read any of his works; they were options on our high school reading list for English class though. But my friend loves him.
He is wonderful. ♥
Yay Veggiewitch!!! I so heart Oscar Wilde too – both the man and his works. Thanks for this beautiful post! ♥ xx
You are so right! Thanks for sharing your passion for him & his books! :)
He is lovely!
Any time, my friend. ♥
The “Selfish Giant” is also super-good. ;0)
I have never read his work but have always meant to! He just moved up a few places in my summer reading list :)
He really is lovely. ♥
You might also recall “The Picture of Dorian Gray,” first published in 1890. ♥
I admit, I tried to start reading this once and it didn’t grab me. I don’t think I gave it a really good shot though, I only got through like 10 pages. I’ll try again because of your glowing review :)
I adore Oscar Wilde! That photo of him is gorgeous!
It’s my favourite, too. ♥
