In this presentation I am going to share my

experience of reading a book- The Canterville

Ghost. The book has been quite impactful and
changed my perspective about old books.

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

About the author

Ireland. He was an Irish writer and poet. After writing
in different forms through the 1880s, he became one
of Londons most popular playwrights in the early
1890s. He is widely remembered for his witty
comments, his epigrams and his brilliant plays.
