Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few authors are as closely associated with English wit as Oscar Wilde: the sharp-witted dandy, always ready with a cutting remark. His brilliant conversational skills made him famous even before he began his literary career. The stories in this volume showcase his drastic humour and scathing social critique. Among them, »The Model Millionaire« upends social hierarchies, and in »The Canterville Ghost,« ancient traditions meet modern times in the form of a vulgar and unsentimental American family, creating problems for a ghost that has had it too easy for centuries. OSCAR WILDE, born in 1854 in Dublin, died in 1900 in Paris, was an Irish prose writer, playwright, essayist, and poet. Wilde's significance as a symbol for persecuted homosexuals around the world is immeasurable. Wilde himself was sentenced to prison and hard labour, his works were boycotted, theatrical productions were shut down, and he was publicly vilified. The Picture of Dorian Gray [1890] is his most famous work.

Artwork that bring to life certain episodes in the story Suggestions for further reading and website links that the reader will find informative and helpful The Canterville Ghost was Oscar Wilde's first published story, and it premiered in the magazine The Court and Society Review (February, 1887). Later, it was published in a collection of short stories titled Lord Arthur Savile's Crime and Other Stories (1891). Set in late the 19th century, it tells about an American family's encounter with the ghost of an English nobleman. The setting is an old English country house, Canterville Chase. It has all the trappings of a traditional haunted house, but the family that comes to live there belongs to a practical, modern way of life. This sets the stage for the novella. A contrast is shown between traditional English society, which has its roots in a nearly two thousand-year-old history and modern, practical American society, which belongs a nation discovered only in the 17th century. The seller of Canterville Chase, Lord Canterville, and the buyer, Mr Otis, represent these two cultures, respectively. The ghost of Sir Simon, a family ancestor, tries his best to scare the Otis family with the most gruesome appearances. However, the realistic American family refuses to get scared, and Sir Simon ends up only with comic failures. The Canterville Ghost is the kind of story one would write if one wanted to make fun of hair-raising ghost stories. Yet, there are moments of pure sentiment that do not seem misplaced in the narrative. Wilde's mastery over sentiment and comedy alike makes this book a perennial favourite. Not surprisingly, the novella has been widely adapted for the screen, theatre, and graphic medium.
