The canterville ghost, hardcover/oscar wilde

Description The house at Canterville Chase has been haunted for centuries-but that isnt about to stop the determined American family who has come to live there.

In fact, even when evidence of the haunting proves indisputable, they remain undaunted, and take to teasing and pranking the poor old ghost, until hes at his wits end.
