The Canterville Ghost

A ghost story like no other—where humor and horror walk hand in hand.

Oscar Wilde's The Canterville Ghost is a delightful blend of comedy, satire, and the supernatural. When an American family moves into the grand but haunted Canterville Chase, they are warned of the resident ghost, Sir Simon. But instead of fear, they meet his hauntings with cheerful indifference and modern practicality, leaving the poor ghost frustrated, humiliated, and desperate.

Wilde transforms the traditional Gothic tale into a playful and thought-provoking story that explores themes of forgiveness, redemption, and the clash between old-world tradition and modern rationalism.
