The Canterville Ghost

Written by Oscar Wilde

Narrated by Sean Murphy

This is Oscar Wilde's tale of the American family moved into a British mansion, Canterville Chase, much to the annoyance of 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.
