Picture of Oscar Wilde book 		Works of Oscar Wilde
The Complete Works, published in a three-volume set and selected by Merlin Holland, were produced by The Folio Society in 1991. I copy-edited the entire text, which included his plays, stories and prose, and researched the illustrations. It included his famous 'letter' to Bosie (Lord Douglas) entitled 'De Profundis', which Oscar wrote in prison, and the charming moral tale, a favourite of mine, 'The Selfish Giant'.

Detail of letters 		Lettres à Londres
A translation from the French of some fifty letters between a Swiss man and his daughter Louisa who moved to London in 1865. The letters, full of charming period detail, required careful translation and editing, to render them palatable to the modern reader while retaining a period flavour.
