Review:

A fascinating glimpse into Victorian literary life. Dinner with Oscar Wilde. Wow. Lots of Irish politics which are still contemporary. Lots of mystical and magical commentary which was and is fascinating.

Yeats was a fascinating individual, and this was a great way to get to know the man behind the poems and plays.
