La sfinge senza enigmi (1894) e Il milionario modello (1887) sono due straordinari esempi dello stile brillante e mondano delle sue commedie, idolatrate dalla società vittoriana, mentre Il delitto di Lord Arthur Savile (1891) è la dimostrazione di come si possano coniugare verosimile e irrazionale in una storia di estrema piacevolezza.

When her longtime friend claims to have evidence of Big Foot's existence, archaeologist Annja Creed can't resist checking it out for herself - she's been debating the subject for years. Annja's curiosity leads her deep into the woods of the Pacific Northwest, to meet Jenny where the supposed trail has been left by the one and only Sasquatch. 

Archaeologist Annja Creed reluctantly accepts an assignment on behalf of the US Government. She is to lead an expedition to the top of Mount Ararat to find the truth about what is thought to be the remains of Noah's Ark.
