Excellent
Really enjoyed the telling of these classic stories, some of which were new to me. Fantastic narration, especially for my all time favourite 'The Happy Prince' which brought tears to my eyes. Thank you.

Funny and touching
Great narration by a great actor. Old tales that could have been written today. I'll definitely be listening to these tales again.

A decent collection of humorous stories.
I will say that someone at audible needs to sort out the chapters on this thing. There are 8 stories included and they are split across 6 untitled chapters, so that stories continue over chapter breaks and new stories start mid chapter. Each story should be its own chapter, and titled, so that someone can find a specific story if they want; as it is now, they'd be lost.
I also note that the description doesn't provide a list of stories, and it is not the same as the collection of this name listed on wikipedia, so here it is:
Lord Arthur Savile's Crime
The Canterville Ghost
The Model Millionaire
The Fisherman and His Soul
The Young King
The Happy Prince
The Devoted Friend
The Portrait of Mr. W. H.

This is a series of short stories. Some are absolutely brilliant, some are just okay.

Derek Jacobi reading classic stories by Oscar Wilde, it doesn't get much better than that!

Some excellent
It gets better. For me the early tales were silly and Jacobi not the right reader. But the later ones were superb and Jacobi perect.
