   She also took time in the unedited eMpTyVee interview to praise Wilde's
"fairy stories" and related the tale of "The Happy Prince". This was mentioned 
by Peter Manchester (Peter? Come home!) several months
ago. 

   This interview is without a doubt one of the best Kate interviews
ever. She started out somewhat indifferent, but by the time Wilde was
mentioned she was leaning forward in her chair deeply interested in the
conversation. 

   Our copy is probably 8 to 10 generations from the original, and has
lost all color. If someone has a copy in color *please* write me. I'd
love to include this on the next "Love-Hounds Collection".
