Das Gespenst von Canterville

Hiram B. Otis was warned before he bought Canterville: There are ghosts in these walls. However, completely unfazed by such overly British superstition, the American ambassador and his family move into their newly acquired residence. Soon, especially the children of the newcomers make the existence of the ghost that actually resides there a living hell, driving it to despair, until little Virginia takes pity on it. In addition to The Canterville Ghost, this volume includes the tales and stories The Happy Prince, The Nightingale and the Rose, The Selfish Giant, and Lord Arthur Savile's Crime.
