The Canterville Ghost is about an American family in the late 19th century that moves into Lord Canterville's large and old home. However, the large house is haunted by Canterville's ancestor who tries to frighten the family away, or even to death! But his family isn't to be scared away by a ghost, and is even intrigued by the historical mysteries it still carries. According to me, when I first read the title of the book I thought it might be a scary ghost story like others But when I actually read the book I found it intresting and not at all scary. I like the way the author Oscar pragmatically moulded the story into horror-comic. I basically like the ending of the story it was quite touching, before the death of Simon the ghost he has a friend who'll pray for his peace. This story is funny, imaginative and so easy to read I recommend young readers as well as adults to read this book at least once. Maybe some of us do not believe in ghosts but there is something around us which we can't see.
