Dorian Gray - no.14

Guild publishing London 1980

Price: Not sure - it was from a quality 2nd hand bookshop.

History: I've no idea when I got this one, so I popped it at the end, but I remember the circumstance. Grandma described three copies she'd found over the phone (this, I realise, is the benefit of mobile phones with cameras...), and this was the only one I was sure I hadn't got.

Look: It's quite pretty - the cover is gold and green, though the spine looks more like silver and green. I've never worked out whether this is just the effect of the light on it. I'd prefer silver though...

Introduction/Appendices: none, but it contains the Happy Prince, Lord Arthur Saville's Crime and the Canterville Ghost.
