The main story in this selection of Oscar Wilde's tales is 'The Canterville Ghost'. When Mr. Hiram B. Otis buys Canterville Chase, everyone warns him that he is making a mistake, as there is no doubt that the place is haunted. The mansion has been inhabited since time immemorial by the ghost of Lord Simon Canterville, who sees his power over the living vanish when the Otises, a non-superstitious family, move into the castle. This edition includes other stories by the author.
Oscar Fingal O'Fflahertie Wills Wilde was an Irish author, poet and playwright. After writing in different literary styles throughout the 1880s, he became one of the most popular and influential dramatists in London in the early 1890s. He was a key figure in the emerging Aestheticism movement of the late 19th century and is widely regarded as the greatest playwright of the Victorian era. Wilde is best known for his Gothic novel The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890), his epigrams, plays and bedtime stories for children, as well as his criminal conviction in 1895 for gross indecency and for practicing homosexual acts.
