Oscar Wilde 
The Canterville Ghost 

An American family moves to a castle haunted by the ghost of a dead nobleman, who killed his wife and was starved to death by his wife's brothers. A young girl will help to free the tormented spirit. This brilliant and often overlooked story is a wonderful commentary on how Wilde saw 'free' America challenging 'traditional' England – all under the guise of a charming, heartwarming and comical book.
