Oscar Wilde's clever parody provides an entertaining twist on the
traditional gothic horror story. A gauche, materialistic American
family moves into the English mansion of Canterville Chase, much to
the annoyance of the resident ghost. Wilde creates an unforgettable
gallery of characters, from Hiram B. Otis and his children to Lord
Canterville and the chain-clanking ghost Sir Simon. This brilliant
and often overlooked story is a clever commentary on how Wilde saw
"free" America challenging "traditional" England -- all in the
guise of a charming fireside tale. This faithful graphic novel
adaptation is ideal for students and any readers who want to
understand and appreciate the original story. Running 130 pages and
featuring stunning artwork, the book includes an illustrated
character list (like a dramatis personae) and fascinating support
material that details the life and work of Wilde.
