The book I chose is “The Canterville Ghost” written by famous English author Oscar Wilde. He was an Irish poet and playwright. It is a short story written in the form of novella about the mansion haunted by a ghost. Its genre is Gothic fiction. The title itself reveals that it is a scary ghost story. But when I read it, I found out that it is a horror-comic.
Hiram B. Otis, a well off American, buys Canterville Chase, an antiquated English lodge, despite of admonitions that the house is well known to be spooky. He moves into the house joined by his better half, his oldest child Washington, his little girl Virginia, and his two more youthful twin children. Quickly upon appearance, the family is stood up to by a bloodstain in a parlor. The servant, Mrs. Umney, clarifies that the stain has been there since 1575 and is the after effect of Lady Eleanore de Canterville having been fiercely killed by her significant other, Sir Simon de Canterville. The Otis family takes an even minded viewpoint and scours the stain away; they rehash the procedure when the stain keeps on returning each morning. The obstinate return of the stain, just as other weird events around the house, drives them to consider that the gossip of the phantom may not be unwarranted. These thoughts are affirmed when one night, the sound of thumping chains wakes Mr. Otis from his rest. He gets up and faces an unnerving phantom, however, reacts just by prescribing that the apparition oil his chains with the goal that he doesn't cause so much clamor when he is strolling around evening time.

Mr. Otis isn't the main relative who isn't apprehensive about the apparition: the youthful twins appreciate tormenting the phantom with tricks. The apparition is extremely glad for his custom of unnerving guests for a long time, and he is resolved to strike dread into the American family. Be that as it may, the increasingly unnerving he attempts to be, the more they either ridicule or disregard him. Things hit absolute bottom for the Canterville Ghost when the twins really make their very own phony apparition to startle the genuine phantom. He acknowledges that he has lost his status and force, and he starts to get discouraged and pine away.
Then, Virginia's excellence has pulled in the consideration of the youthful Duke of Cheshire, who comes to remain at Canterville Chase. While he is visiting, Virginia out of the blue runs over the mystery concealing nest of the phantom. The phantom clarifies his pity and enduring, disclosing to her that he aches for the serene experience of death. He additionally discloses to her that considering her virtue and blamelessness, she can assist him with achieving this harmony. Even though she is startled, Virginia consents to help; both go through a mystery opening in the divider and evaporate. At the point when Virginia can't be discovered, her family and the Duke become disturbed. A couple of hours after the fact, Virginia shows up in obscurity at the highest point of the stairs. Her solitary clarification of her vanishing is that she has aided at long last carrying unceasing rest to the Canterville Ghost.
As a token of his thanks and fondness, Sir Simon has given her a crate loaded up with gems. Virginia drives the family into a mystery chamber, where they are welcomed by seeing his skeletal remains. After four days, Sir Simon's body is at long last let go with a legitimate entombment. Virginia along these lines weds the Duke of Cheshire. Although she never mentions to anybody what she encountered when she evaporated with the Ghost, she generally thinks about tenderly him and his memory.
This novel has an amazing content. It is really very interesting book and I specially like the ending. It became a pretty touching because earlier than sir Simon had gone forever, he has a friend with the intention to pray for him. Possibly a few of us don’t accept in the ghost, but there is continuously something around us that we cannot see. The story is told in a comedian, unexpected and some of the time mocking tone. After all, the tone turns out to be progressively genuine and thoughtful in the last area after the apparition at long last concedes that he is languishing. I highly recommend that everyone should read this book because it is very funny, imaginative and easy to read. Moreover, this story gives us the lesson kindness.
