( ) Wilde’s writing is as smooth as ever and there are some great bon mots to be found in these pages, even a few great stories overall. But I can’t help but feel strangely let down by the collection. I wanted raucous wit and instead got a fair amount of “remember children, always be good and you too will go to heaven.” Not to say the wit isn’t there, it’s just overwhelmed at times. I can’t imagine any tales beyond perhaps the first two or “The Selfish Giant” (thanks probably to the Damon Albarn song that took its name) will stay with me in the way that Wilde’s novel and plays have done. http://ragingbiblioholism.com/2015/04/03/the-model-millionaire/ Wilde’s writing is as smooth as ever and there are some great bon mots to be found in these pages, even a few great stories overall.

Hughie Erskine is in love and wants to marry, but the girl's father will not allow it, since Erskine has no money. Erskine's friend Alan Trevor is a painter, and he visits him at his studio one day to find him with a pitiable beggar -- the model for his painting. Erskine only has one coin, on which he depends for transportation, but he decides he can walk for a couple of weeks and gives the beggar the coin. Read in English, unabridged.
