Lord Arthur Savile's crime' is the title of a bright little volume of stories by Oscar Wilde. The opnion once prevalent that Oscar Wilde was an impressionist crank was entirely erroneous. He can write pure, charming English and has a light, humorous fancy which is very attractive. He is certainly capable of more serious work if he choose to exert himself.
