Canterville Ghost

Canterville Ghost

Oscar Wilde

Published in 1887, 'The Canterville Ghost' is a novella by Oscar Wilde that tells the story of an American family who moves into the haunted Canterville Chase, home to the ghost of Sir Simon de Canterville. Unlike previous residents, the Otis family is unfazed by the ghost's attempts to scare them, leading to humorous confrontations. This work is notable for its satirical take on American and British cultural differences, blending comedy with supernatural elements.
