A House of Pomegranates
About this book
A House of Pomegranates is a collection of four literary fairy tales by Oscar Wilde, exploring themes of beauty, sacrifice, and morality through richly poetic prose. Readers interested in Victorian literature, fairy-tale traditions, and Wilde's work will find it rewarding.
One note: the 1997 date is a reprint or edition date—the collection was originally published in 1891. I'd also flag that your metadata lists the subject as "mythology," but this work is more accurately classified as literary fairy tales or short fiction, which you may want to verify against your cataloguing standards.

Oscar Wilde
Oscar Fingal O'Fflahertie Wills Wilde was an Irish author, poet and playwright. After writing in different literary styles throughout the 1880s, he became one of the most popular and influential dramatists in London in the early 1890s. He was a key figure in the emerging Aestheticism movement of the late 19th century and is widely regarded as the greatest playwright of the Victorian era. Wilde is best known for his Gothic novel The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890), his epigrams, plays and bedtime stories for children, as well as his criminal conviction in 1895 for gross indecency and for practicing homosexual acts.
