This is Oscar Wilde's tale of the American family moved into a British mansion, Canterville Chase, much to the annoyance of its tired ghost. The family -- which refuses to believe in him -- is in Wilde's way a commentary on the British nobility of the day -- and on the Americans, too. The tale, like many of Wilde's, is rich with allusion, but ends as sentimental romance.

Watched a couple films of this story and... What a difference! The ghost isn’t nearly as admirable as he is in the film(s)! Plus the story is filled with witticisms that really change the view! In the film the dad is obnoxious whereas in the story he’s kind of random and just there, I guess. Plus the films of Canterville Ghost are often updated for whenever they are filmed. The story takes place in the late 1800s. Even so, Wilde rather nails it for Yankees having a snazzy product to solve everything. Whenever the ghost makes issues they offer or use some commercial invention they brought with them!
