Synopsis

A man sells the love letters a famous dead novelist wrote him — anonymously, for the money to marry — and then must live inside the marriage the money bought. Wharton, first woman to win the Pulitzer, published this novella in 1900; it is the earliest statement of her permanent subject, which is not adultery or money but the small betrayal a decent person makes and then has to eat, daily, for years.

    A dinner-party inventor argues that time is a fourth dimension, disappears in his machine, and returns starving with an account of the year 802,701, where humanity has split into the delicate Eloi above ground and something else below. Wells was twenty-nine and this was his first novel; he had trained as a science teacher and knew how to make an impossible premise sound like a lecture. The horror is not the Morlocks but the arithmetic — what comfort does to a species, given time enough.

    When the Otis family—brash, modern Americans—move into the ancient and supposedly haunted Canterville Chase, they’re met not with terror, but with sarcasm, oil, and detergent. Poor Sir Simon, the resident ghost, has frightened generations of Cantervilles into madness and despair, but now finds himself humiliated and ignored by skeptical newcomers who care more about removing bloodstains than respecting the supernatural. 
    Witty, satirical, and surprisingly moving, The Canterville Ghost blends comedy and ghost story into a timeless tale about redemption, forgiveness, and the gentle power of compassion. At its heart is the unlikely friendship between Sir Simon and young Virginia Otis, whose kindness becomes the key to unlocking centuries of sorrow. 
    This new narration by Simon Relph captures both the dry humor and the emotional depth of Oscar Wilde’s beloved story.
