A satire of Victorian social hypocrisy, the witty play is considered Wilde’s greatest dramatic achievement.\nJack Worthing is a fashionable young man who lives in the country with his ward, Cecily Cardew. He has invented a rakish brother named Ernest whose supposed exploits give Jack an excuse to travel to London periodically to rescue him. Jack is in love with Gwendolen Fairfax, the cousin of his friend Algernon Moncrieff. Gwendolen, who thinks Jack’s name is Ernest, returns his love, but her mother, Lady Bracknell, objects to their marriage because Jack is an orphan who was found in a handbag at Victoria Station.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0B3J8PJM4\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: PKV.B0B3J8PJM4.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Wilde, Oscar\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: It's been through some chapters of life!
