Sharply observed, vivid and dispassionate, it offers an unforgettable portrait of Wilde himself, his circle and his persecutors, as well as Holland's own childhood and the lonliness of being Oscar Wilde's son.

From Library Journal:
This is the first of what no doubt will be many volumes (see below) on Wilde to celebrate the centennial of his death in 2000. Holland's somewhat syrupy portrait of his father, whom he really didn't know well as he was only four when Oscar died, nonetheless won high praise from critics when it was released in 1954. This edition has been updated by Holland's son Merlin. The volume also contains several monochrome photos of the players.

Review:
"A biographical tour de force" -- Observer

"An essential addition to Wildeana by a witness uniquely qualified to testify" -- Library Journal

"Fascinating for the light it sheds on Wilde's Oxford days and on his domestic life." -- Atlantic Monthly

"Mr. Holland's vivid glimpses of the aftermath of that cause clbre of the Nineties [do] a valuable service of his father's memory." -- Saturday Review
