Publisher Description
A terrifying ghost is haunting the ancient mansion of Canterville Chase, complete with creaking floorboards, clanking chains and gruesome disguises - but the new occupants seem strangely undisturbed by his presence. Deftly contrasting the conventional gothic ghost story with the pragmatism of the modern world, Wilde creates a gently comic fable of the conflict between old and new. Rupert Degas' hilarious reading brings the absurdity and theatricality of the story to life.
Customer Reviews
Nicely written
This book is written very nicely and each and every small details are shown beautifully, I would highly recommend this for a one time read.
Simply Brilliant
Oscar Wilde did it again. The story is hilarious yet evocative, and has a beautiful sentimentality.
P. S., Seeing the shenanigans Mr. Otis' family gets to while reading this book, you may be inclined to think this is a comedy about eccentric sort of people. This is a common misconception; Americans are just weirdos like that. 10/10
Good
At first it was confusing but with time it popped
