The World of Oscar Wilde Jigsaw

‘I have the simplest tastes. I am always satisfied with the best’, Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)

A wholly satisfying jigsaw puzzle to spend in the witty company of Irish playwright and author Oscar Wilde (1854-1900). Piece together the puzzle and then enjoy spotting 62 visual references to Wilde’s life and works. Mixing biographical details with the flights of his inspired, literary imagination. From fairytales and children’s stories; to urbane comedies, chilling horror, and poignant poetry. Discover details inspired by 'The Canterville Ghost', 1887; 'The Selfish Giant', 1888; Lady Bracknell and her ‘bunburying’ nephew Algernon Moncrieff from 'The Importance of Being Earnest', 1895; the dark secret of Dorian Gray's portrait hidden in the attic from ‘The Picture of Dorian Gray’, 1890-91; and much more. In a life cut tragically short and marred by exile, the puzzle also takes in characters from Wilde’s life and time, such as Lord Alfred Douglas and Aubrey Beardsley; alongside famous places, from the Café Royal to Wilde's tomb in the Père Lachaise Cemetery, Paris. With an annotated image guide to highlight the many details and celebrating Wilde’s genius: declare your own genius by completing this absorbing jigsaw puzzle challenge.
