Some books stay with you much longer than others. And The Canterville Ghost by Oscar Wilde is certainly one of them .

The Canterville Ghost is about an American family in the late 19th century that moves into Lord Canterville’s large and old home. However, the large house is haunted by Canterville’s ancestor, who tries to frighten the family away, or even to death! But this family isn’t to be scared away by a ghost, and is even attracted by the historical mysteries it still carries.

Oscar Wilde and a ghost story is the perfect combination. His language is artful and witty. 

The most funny thing I found in the story is that the Canterville Ghost Sir Simon has not seen any other ghosts and gets frightened when the twin kids disguise as ghosts. 

This entertaining and engaging piece is highly recommended for children and adults alike.
