Features: The Ghost of Canterville revolves around an English castle, with a plot full of twists and turns—not the ghost being scared, but the ghost being disturbed. The entire book is filled with rhythm and suspense, and the writing playfully mocks the snobbish attitude of the British aristocracy. The story takes place in an ancient English castle. The Otis family from America acquires ownership of the castle. When they arrive at Canterville Manor, they hear that the ghost of the former owner, Sir Simon Canterville, is wandering in the manor.
