Wilde's "trivial play for serious people" is a sparkling comedy of
manners. This hilariously absurd satire pits sincerity against
style, barbed witticisms against ostentatious elegance. Wilde's
brilliantly constructed plot and famous dialogue enrich the appeal
of his celebrated characters, as he turns accepted ideas inside out
and situations upside down in this, his masterpiece. The Student
Edition offers a plot summary, full commentary, character notes and
questions for study, besides a chronology and bibliography.

In June 1946, a troop of Boy Scouts from Wayne, Pennsylvanian began
planning a canoe paddle that none would ever forget. Paoli Troop
1's route took them on what is today the Adirondack Ninety-mile
Canoe Classic from Old Forge to Saranac Lake. This is also the
first section of today's Northern Forest Canoe Trail, considered
the waterway equivalent of the Appalachian Trail, which extends via
rivers, streams, lakes, and carries to Fort Kent, Maine. Three of
the scouts, Herb "Hobey" Henderson, George Aman, and Bill McClear
compiled the photo journal and dedicated it to future scouts who
might read it. Hobey kept the log and the memories of the fifteen
scouts' experiences in a bureau drawer for decades, finally
presenting it in 2011 to Paoli Troop 1 on its 100th anniversary. It
seems somewhat of a miracle that Author William J. O'Hern
discovered the journal, with the help of Dick and Hobey Henderson,
and realized that its publication would be especially meaningful to
those who enjoy canoeing and hiking in the same area today. Readers
can only imagine how much the boys in the journal - now elderly men
- enjoy reliving the adventure that was carefully preserved in
words and photographs by their fellow scouts and now will be
further preserved for later generations in this small publication.
