ACKNOWLEDGEMENT:
This book is about an American family who moved to Canterville Chase, an old manor house
which was haunted by the ghost of Lord Simon the Canterville. The ghost tried to frighten the
family but they werent afraid of anything so the ghost failed every time. Only Virginia, Mr. and
Mrs. Otis daughter, helped him.
One day Virginia met the ghost in his secret room, they spoke about his death, and Virginia
decided to go to the Angel of Death to ask him if he could forgive the ghost. At the end the ghost
died and the American family lived a normal and happy life.
I like this book very much because its sometimes humorous and sometimes frightening. I have
loved ghost stories since I was a child and I think that this is very nice. But if I read them in the
evening or at night I cannot sleep very well so I prefer reading them in the afternoon when there
arent strange noises in the house. I like The Canterville Ghost very much, because I love
stories about ghosts with suspense.
In fact Oscar Wilde's book is about a ghost, who wanted to sleep in the Garden of Death, but he
couldn't because he had murdered his wife three hundred years before.
The Angel of Death forgave the Ghost when Virginia, an American girl who lived in Canterville
Chase with her family, prayed for him. The book I read is a ghost story and it is about an
American family who buys a house in England but this house has been haunted for centuries!
I like this story because the people who read the Canterville Ghost can be frightened but they
can also laugh because its a very funny story.
I also want to underline that the author of this book, Oscar Wilde, is a genius and so I think it is
important to read it. The Canterville Ghost is a humorous story. I like it when Mr. Otis said to
remove the bloodstain in the library and when Mrs. Otis threw the bottle of "Rising Sun
American Lubricator at the ghost to stop him making noise.
A sad moment is when the ghost tells Virginia his story; he wants to die because he hasn't slept
for three hundred years. I love the end because I think it is romantic.
