Reads of classic stories, Occasionally reviews or brief biography of writers. But mostly me, reading stories.

abebooks.co.uk is recommended.

  • Oscar Wilde - The Canterville Ghost

    Oscar Wilde - The Canterville Ghost
    Jun 23 2026
    "The Canterville Ghost" is a humorous short story by Oscar Wilde. It was the first of Wilde's stories to be published, appearing in two parts in The Court and Society Review, 23 February and 2 March 1887. The story is about an American family who moved to a castle haunted by the ghost of a dead English nobleman, who killed his wife and was then walled in and starved to death by his wife's brothers.

    It's not great but it's okay as a read. The book is fantastic.

    I did this in several chunks and had a cold at the start which accounts for the change in timbre in various places.
