For Alfonso

Work:: For Alfonso (S1941805578)

In 1888, Oscar Wilde published a children's story called The Remarkable Rocket, about a firework who fails to understand the true nature of love. On 27 September 1894, he took a boy called Alfonso Conway (whom he'd picked up on Worthing Pier) back to a hotel room in Brighton. Six months later, Alfonso was in a solicitor's office, being forced to give evidence.
