An American family goes to England to live and to learn how the British live. Moving into a haunted house, despite being told it was haunted, Oscar Wilde begins to have fun not only with the Americans' way of life but with the British as well, injecting humor at every moment and satire especially of the Americans. In the end, the ghost becomes significant. Through him, young Virginia learns about life and death and that love transcends it all. The short story continues to be popular. It became a movie in 1944 with Charles Laughton, and several other movies have been released as recently as 1997; it has also had many television renditions. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.
