Books by Oscar Wilde
The Canterville Ghost
by Oscar Wilde

★★★☆☆
I was prompted to read this book by the extremely underwhelming experience that was A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. The last time I read The Canterville Ghost, I was 10, read it in German, and enjoyed it very much. Reading it again did not reduce my enjoyment: Wilde pokes fun at both British and American stereotypes with a light recklessness that holds up nearly 150 years later.
