«El fantasma de Canterville y otros relatos» is Oscar Wilde's short story collection published in 2011 by Plutón Ediciones in paperback (128 pages, in Spanish).
The main narrative presents the Otis family, who move into Canterville Castle despite being warned that it is haunted by the ghost of Sir Simon. The Otises' pragmatism turns the apparitions into occasions for humour and irony. The volume also includes «El crimen de Lord Arthur Savile» and «La esfinge sin secreto».
It belongs to the Misterio Collection from Plutón Ediciones. The translation is by Benjamin Briggent. The edition is pocket-sized and measures 12 x 18 cm.
For readers of classics who appreciate humour and irony, and for those seeking ghost stories with satire.
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.
