A Ladder for Mr Oscar Wilde by Geoff Sawyers

"As Wilde was led down from the Old Bailey on 25 May 1895, men were up on ladders painting out his name from the hoardings announcing his plays. Two years with hard labour; it was the harshest sentence the judge could give for the crime."

By author Geoff Sawyers, this pamphlet is both a tribute to Oscar Wilde, incarcerated in Reading Gaol 1895-7, and a reminder that the causes that moved him to such fury in The Ballad are still with us.
