Summary

A haunted mansion. A frustrated ghost. A family that refuses to be scared.

When the Otis family moves into Canterville Chase, they discover that the mansion is home to a ghost who has terrified generations. But to his dismay, the Otises not only ignore his attempts to frighten them—they mock him.

Desperate, Sir Simon, the mansion's resident ghost, faces his worst nightmare: a fearless family. Only Virginia, the eldest daughter, seems to understand his suffering and may hold the key to his eternal rest.
With humor and a touch of melancholy, The Canterville Ghost is a literary gem that blends the supernatural with satire.
