The Importance of Being Earnest, Oscar Wilde's play, is perhaps is his finest fruit. This is the classic stroy of Algernon Moncrieff and John Worthington, the women enamoured with them (after a fashion), the very proper Lady Bracknell, handbags, babies and Charing Cross Station. When each of the men try ot pass themselves off as Ernest in their attempts to win over the women of their dreams, confusion and hilarity reign.
Now rendered expertly as a novel by Charles Osborn and introduced by none other than Dame Edna, The Importance of Being Earnest should delight a new generation of readers.
