Stephen Fry book signing

Stephen Fry will be signing his latest book Stephen Fry presents Oscar Wilde's Stories For All Ages, plus giving a short talk about his love of these enchanting stories.

Like old friends whose charm and warmth never fade, Oscar Wilde's short stories have enchanted generations of readers, and occupy a special place in the heart of each new reader. Like luminous gems, they have lost none of their power to enthral and inspire; and in this beautifully illustrated edition, Stephen Fry presents these gems to shine anew.

Meet the selfish giant, whose garden was cloaked in perpetual winter until he allowed the children to enter and play, the statue of the Happy Prince who stood overlooking his city, and who gave the sapphires embedded in his eyes and clothing to feed the poor; and the Remarkable Rocket who was so convinced that he would be the brightest of all, yet ended up nose-first in a ditch.

These vivid characters and many more are brought to life by Nicole Stewart’s stunning illustrations, while the messages, meanings and morals of the stories are explored in Stephen’s masterful introductions.

Copies of the book will be available to purchase on the evening for £10.
