Publisher Description
Oscar Wilde's wit and meaning is at its best in this ghost story, considered by many the best ever written. Wilde's dialogue lends himself to narration because of his quick wit and delivery. Here he presents a traditional English ghost that Americans refuse to accept, but both parties finally work together to end the controversy. One of the great short stories of all time.

Terrible Narration
A wonderful story though terrible narration. I would not recommend.
Shocking.
This excellent short story is read in a droll, slow fashion with an extremely thick American accent and almost impossibly poor timing. Both I and my wife (both 31 years old) found it unbearable to listen to this audio book and only laughed out loud during the sudden eruptions of vocal work when the reader would announce a new chapter. The Canterville Ghost would have been proud, seeing as this read scares any- and everyone from ever visiting the Canterville estate. Shocking. Wish I could get my money back.
