I guess the old country is so overpopulated that they have not enough decent weather for everybody. I have always been of opinion that emigration is the only thing for England.

The Canterville Ghost

by Oscar Wilde · published 1887 · read 2020-06-13
★★★☆☆
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.
