The Canterville Ghost

The Canterville Ghost
Bok av Oscar Wilde
"The Canterville Ghost" is a popular short story by Oscar Wilde, widely adapted for the screen and stage. It was the first of Wilde's stories to be published, appearing in the magazine The Court and Society Review in February 1887. It was later included in a collection of short stories entitled Lord Arthur Savile's Crime and Other Stories in 1891. The American Minister and his family have bought the English stately home Canterville Chase, complete with the ghost of Sir Simon de Canterville - blood-stains, clanking chains and all. But these modern Americans will have no truck with ghostly goings-on, and set out to beat the spectre at his own game.
En familj från America flyttar in till ett engelskt slott med en historia bakom sig, i form av ett spöke.

Det är ett klassiskt verk av Wilde och speglar hans sätt att skriva med en slags torr humorik och intressanta språk.

Kan definitiv rekommenderas till alla.
