In between lay a meteoric career.\u003cp\u003eHe was in his late thirties when he took London by storm.

He died five years later, alone, and in obscurity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis short stories, all published early in his career, are of two kinds, both represented in this collection: witty social comedies like \"Lord Arthur Saville's Crime,\" and profoundly imaginative fairy tales such as \"The Happy Prince.\"  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Neeland Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47054167179504,"sku":"9781420946819","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781420946819_p0.jpg?v=1763730274","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781420946819","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
