Wise Children es una novela cómica de Angela Carter que narra la historia de dos familias teatrales, los Hazards y los Chances, a lo largo de varias generaciones en Londres. La novela explora temas como la identidad, la familia, el teatro y la autenticidad, todo ello con el característico estilo imaginativo y satírico de Carter. La historia sigue las vidas de las gemelas Dora y Nora Chance, hijas ilegítimas del famoso actor shakesperiano Sir Melchior Hazard, y sus experiencias en el mundo del espectáculo.
