Cliffsnotes < sup(t )/Sup > the Picture of Dorian Gray
Stanley P. Baldwin

Hungry Minds, 2001

Beautiful and witty
This is a beautiful and witty tale about a depraved man. His ugly soul is mirrored by his ever-changing portrait while he retains his youthful visage. Suspenseful throughout. A classic.
