Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde is a famous writer. He lived in Dublin, Ireland until 1900.  I might read one of his stories while I am here.  One of his famous stories is called The Picture of Dorian Gray.  

In Dublin, there is a sign on the door of the building where Oscar Wilde lived when he was young.

Sign by the door.

Are you home Oscar Wilde?

 There is a statue of Oscar Wilde in the park right across the street from his old house.

Oscar Wilde is famous for some of his funny quotes.  Here is one I found that he said about America:

"We have really everything in common with America nowadays except, of course, language."
