The book offers fantasy legends by Oscar Wilde, adapted (without simplifying the original text) according to the method of Ilya Frank. The uniqueness of the method lies in the fact that memorization of words and expressions occurs due to their repetition, without memorization and the need to use a dictionary. The manual promotes effective language acquisition and can serve as an addition to the curriculum. Designed for students, for those learning English on their own, as well as for anyone interested in English culture.
