Bedtime Stories for Adults: Perfect classic literature to read before bed

by Oscar Wilde, O. Henry, Saki

Overview

As a child being read to was one of the greatest joys imaginable. A loved one would start a tale whilst you were all cosy warm in bed with the lights nodding off. Anything could happen but sleep would come and dreams would start and all was good with the world.

Adults too long for reassurance, for comfort, for calm. Sometimes they may get that. But with classic authors such as Oscar Wilde, O Henry, Saki, Rabindranath Tagore and many others they may not. Expect the unexpected.

About the Author

The ever-quotable Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) was an Irish playwright, novelist, essayist, and poet who delighted Victorian England with his legendary wit. He found critical and popular success with his scintillating plays, chiefly The Importance of Being Earnest, while his only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, scandalized readers. Imprisoned for two years for homosexual behavior, Wilde moved to France after his release, where he died destitute.
