'This edition does full justice to Wilde’s harrowing masterpiece with outstanding illustrations by Peter Hay.
‘I have seldom seen the Ballad illustrated with more simple power and by someone who hasn’t just read it, but obviously knows a good deal about Wilde’s life in prison and has felt his way under Oscar’s skin for the duration of that terrible experience’
