The Canterville Ghost

👻 "When a ghost meets modern Americans, even the supernatural learns to laugh." 👻

Oscar Wilde's The Canterville Ghost is a delightful blend of comedy, satire, and the supernatural—a timeless story that combines laughter and tenderness in equal measure.

When the Otis family, a group of practical Americans, moves into the grand old Canterville Chase in England, they are warned that the mansion is haunted by the ghost of Sir Simon de Canterville, who has terrified its residents for centuries. But the unflappable Otises are not easily scared. Armed with common sense and household remedies, they confront the hapless ghost—turning centuries of Gothic horror upside down with wit, warmth, and compassion.

Beneath its humor, Wilde's tale offers a moving reflection on sin, redemption, and forgiveness. Sir Simon's haunting becomes a journey toward peace, while the Otis family's kindness and innocence reveal the healing power of empathy.

Written with Wilde's signature brilliance, The Canterville Ghost is both a hilarious parody of ghost stories and a touching moral fable that continues to enchant readers of all ages.
