Lady Windermere's Fan : A Play About a Good Woman is a four act comedy by Oscar Wilde, published in 1893. As in some of his other comedies, Wilde satirizes the morals of Victorian society, and attitudes between the sexes. The action centres around a fan given to Lady Windermere as a present by her husband, and the ball held that evening to celebrate her 21st birthday. This is a dramatic reading.

Called by some a romance, by others a horror story, it is one of the earliest murder mysteries. In “ The String of Pearls ”, Sweeney Todd is less sympathetic than in some of his later incarnations – a perfect villain...
