«Le fantôme de Canterville et autres contes» is Oscar Wilde's collection of humorous tales, published by Livre de Poche Jeunesse in paperback (192 pages, in French).
The volume brings together three satirical tales by Oscar Wilde. In the title story, a ghost who has terrorised an English castle for centuries meets an American family too practical to be scared. It is followed by «El crimen de Lord Arthur Savile», about a man whom a palm reader predicts will commit murder, and «El millonario modelo», a brief story of wit and appearances. The tone combines British humour and social criticism.
The book belongs to the Livre de Poche Jeunesse collection and is aimed at young readers. It includes explanatory notes at the end to clarify cultural references from the late 19th century. French translation by Jules Castier, with cover illustrated by Véronique Deiss.
Recommended for readers aged 9 to 12 approaching French or classics with humour.
