This incredible coaster is a must-have for Oscar Wilde fans. Inspired by his quirky writing style, this coaster is a great way to break the clutter and add some literary magic to your life.

Known as an erratic genius in the fashionable circles of London who he would go on to critique in his plays, Oscar Wilde, with his flamboyant dress and wit, was one of the most talked-about personalities of the 19th century. Several of his plays continue to be widely performed, especially The Importance of Being Earnest.

Towards the latter part of his life, Wilde suffered a dramatic downfall and was imprisoned for two years hard labour after being convicted of “gross indecency” with other men. After Wilde was released from prison, he set sail for Dieppe by the night ferry. He never returned to Ireland or Britain and died in poverty.
