The Canterville Ghost

This is Oscar Wilde's tale of the American family moved into a British mansion, Canterville Chase, much to the annoyance of its tired ghost. The familyamp;mdash;which refuses to believe in himamp;mdash;is in Wilde's way a commentary on the British nobility of the dayamp;mdash;and on the Americans, too. The tale, like many of Wilde's, is rich with allusion, but ends as sentimental romance.
