Charming, humorous, and delightfully ironic, The Canterville Ghost blends gothic tradition with Oscar Wilde's unmistakable wit. The story follows an old English ghost whose haunting efforts are hilariously undermined by a practical and unshakable American family. Beneath the comedy lies a gentle exploration of compassion, forgiveness, and the clash between old-world tradition and modern thinking. Loved for its clever dialogue and playful tone, this classic short novel remains one of Wilde's most accessible and entertaining works. A perfect read for those who enjoy lighthearted classics with heart and humor.
