It includes: "The Portrait of Mr. W. H.""Lord Arthur Savile's Crime""The Canterville Ghost""The Sphinx Without a Secret""The Model Millionaire"The Portrait of Mr. W. H.The Portrait of Mr. W. H. is a story written by Oscar Wilde, first published in Blackwood's Magazine in 1889. It was later added to the collection Lord Arthur Savile's Crime and Other Stories, though it does not appear in early editions. An enlarged edition planned by Wilde, almost twice as long as the Blackwood's version, with cover illustration by Charles Ricketts, did not proceed and only came to light after Wilde's death. This was published in limited edition by Mitchell Kennerley in New York in 1921, and in a first regular English edition by Methuen in 1958, edited by Vyvyan Holland. The story is about an attempt to uncover the identity of Mr. W. H., the enigmatic dedicatee of Shakespeare's Sonnets. It is based on a theory, originated by Thomas Tyrwhitt, that the sonnets were addressed to one Willie Hughes, portrayed in the story as a boy actor who specialized in playing women in Shakespeare's company. This theory depends on the assumption that the dedicatee is also the Fair Youth who is the subject of most of the poems. The only evidence for this theory is the text of a number of sonnets themselves (such as Sonnet 20, that makes puns on the words "Will" and "Hues").Lord Arthur Savile's CrimeThis story was first published in The Court and Society Review, in late 1887.

When a family from the United States buys Canterville Chase, they are told it is haunted by a horrible spirit, but this does not deter them in the slightest. Indeed, when they find a recurring blood stain on the floor, and hear creaking chains in the night, even seeing the ghost himself, all they do is clean up the blood and insist that the ghost oil his manacles if he is going to keep living in the house. This perturbs the ghost to no end, and he does everything he can to try to frighten the family..

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Summary The main character of the story, Lord Arthur Savile, is presented at a party given by Lady Windermere to a pirromanist, Septimus R. Podgers. The latter read in the palm of Lord Arthur's hand and told him that he would be the perpetrator of a crime. Lord Arthur wanted to marry, but decided that he had no right to do so until he had committed the murder. His first attempt involves an aged aunt, Clementina, who suffers from heartburn. Arthur gives him a poisoned capsule, which he presents as a remedy to be taken in case of crisis. Reading the newspaper a few weeks later, he learns of his death and returns victoriously to London, to learn that she bequeathed to him a property. In sorting the affairs of his aunt, he finds the poison pill, intact; So his aunt died naturally and he finds himself in need of a new victim. After reflection, he contacts an anarchist friend, who gives him a bomb concealed in a pendulum. Arthur sends him anonymously to a distant relative, the Dean of Chichester. Unfortunately the craft will prove defective, rejoicing the daughter of the Dean who will spend his afternoons producing tiny and harmless explosions with the clock. Desperate, Lord Arthur believes his plans for marriage condemned when he meets Septimus R. Podgers in the middle of the night on the banks of the Thames. It then precipitates the chiromancer in the river from the top of a parapet. A few days later a newspaper announces the suicide, since this was the result of the investigation, of its victim. Now assured of the success of his business, Lord Arthur can finally get married!

Book excerpt: »The Sphinx Without a Secret« is a short story by Oscar Wilde, originally published in 1891. OSCAR WILDE, born in 1854 in Dublin, died in 1900 in Paris, was an Irish prose writer, playwright, essayist, and poet. Wilde's significance as a symbol for persecuted homosexuals around the world is immeasurable. Wilde himself was sentenced to prison and hard labour, his works were boycotted, theatrical productions were shut down, and he was publicly vilified. The Picture of Dorian Gray [1890] is his most famous work.
