Description

The Canterville Ghost and Other Stories by Oscar Wilde is a collection of four comic mystery stories that will appeal to older kids. When Mr and Mrs Otis and their children move into Canterville Chase, they are warned about the ghost of Lord Canterville's ancestor who haunts the house. However, as the ghost struggles to scare them, he finds his attempts thwarted by the family's practical approach. As the spirit becomes increasingly isolated, he begins to open up to Virginia, the Otises' daughter, and shares the tragic tale behind his sad fate. With its trademark wit, this story is a standout in Wilde's works, presented alongside three other entertaining tales: 'Lord Arthur Savile's Crime', 'The Sphinx without a Secret', and 'The Model Millionaire'. This collection offers a unique blend of humour and mystery, making it an engaging read for those looking for a lighthearted yet intriguing story.
