About this ebook
A haunted mansion. A frustrated ghost. A family that refuses to be scared. When the Otis family moves into Canterville Chase, they discover that the mansion is home to a ghost who has terrified generations. But to his dismay, the Otises not only ignore his attempts to frighten them—they mock him. Desperate, Sir Simon, the mansion's resident ghost, faces his worst nightmare: a fearless family. Only Virginia, the eldest daughter, seems to understand his suffering and may hold the key to his eternal rest. With humor and a touch of melancholy, The Canterville Ghost is a literary gem that blends the supernatural with satire.
About the author
Oscar Wilde was an Irish writer, poet, and playwright renowned for his sharp wit, social criticism, and brilliant use of language. Educated at Trinity College and Oxford, he became an expert in Greek literature and won several prestigious poetry prizes. Wilde rose to fame with works such as The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890) and The Importance of Being Earnest (1895), alongside his plays Lady Windermere's Fan (1892) and Salomé (1894). His life was marred by scandal and imprisonment due to his sexuality, but his literary legacy remains a significant influence on English literature.
