The Canterville Ghost
By Oscar Wilde
Are you brave enough to visit the Canterville mansion? The Otis family moves into a house haunted by the ghost of Sir Simon de Canterville, a man who killed his wife before mysteriously disappearing. Being Americans, they prefer pragmatism over the irrational and the mystical. But is that enough to erase the sad ghost of Sir Simon from their new property? This short story is full of suspense, mystery, and humor. Oscar Wilde, best known for writing The Picture of Dorian Gray, cleverly plays with British and American stereotypes. Even if The Canterville Ghost is a satire of a ghost story, it still has serious undertones such as discussions of death, love and forgiveness. Be sure not to miss out on this book!
