Summary

👻 A hauntingly funny classic by Oscar Wilde. 
When an American family moves into a haunted English mansion, the ghost gets more than he bargained for. 
A witty and heartwarming classic from the master of irony, Oscar Wilde.
When a modern American family moves into an old English mansion, they discover it’s haunted — by none other than Sir Simon de Canterville, a ghost doomed to roam the halls for centuries. 
But this is no ordinary haunting! The practical, skeptical Otis family refuses to be frightened, and soon it’s the ghost who’s terrified.
Wilde’s timeless tale mixes humor, satire, and gentle melancholy, revealing that even the dead can find redemption through kindness and love.
