Dream World
Oscar Wilde : The Artist as Dreamer Feasting With The Greeks The pathways of the poets are often traversed by dreamers destined to wake up one day to the dangers of the real world.

Extravagantly designed & copiously illustrated, this facinating book will be of profound interest not just to Wildeans & students of fashion, but anyone interested in aesthetics, beauty & freedom.
