  <default_description>Oscar Wilde's story of &lt;I&gt;The Canterville Ghost&lt;/I&gt; tells the tale of a malevolent ghost who discovers there is no peace to be found when a rumbustious American family take over his ancestral home.&lt;p&gt; This classic tale by one of the 19th century's most celebrated wits is here reproduced in a stunning little book with stylish illustrations which perfectly capture the atmosphere and imagination of the story. An ideal gift for young readers who enjoy classic stories, &lt;I&gt;The Canterville Ghost&lt;/I&gt; is perfect for reading alone or reading aloud. (Age 7 and over) --&lt;i&gt;Susan Harrison&lt;/i&gt;</default_description>
