Abstract
Walter Crane1 and Oscar Wilde were constant visitors to the theatre, and used frequently to come round after the performance. Many of the fairies’ dresses were copied from Walter Crane’s beautiful designs in his book of flowers. I saw a good deal of Oscar Wilde at this time, and though his appearance was somewhat gross, his conversation was so brilliant that one forgot his looks.
Mainly Players: Bensonian Memories (London: Thornton Butterworth, 1926) pp. 87–8. Editor’s title.
