A funny ghost story originally written by Oscar Wilde in 1887. This book I read is adapted by Susanna Davidson and its beautifully illustrated by Alan Marks.
📘The hardcover of the book has a picture of a ghost in a haunted castle background. The illustrations are in hues of blue and throughout the book the water color paintings makes each page interesting.
📖The story goes likes this. The Otis family bought the Canterville Castle. While everyone in the castle was afraid of the ghost, Mr.Otis gave him oil so that he won't disturb them at night, Washington wiped of all of the blood stain's Sir Simon left and the twins played silly pranks on him.
🔖It's so nice that Sir Simon gets to have his funeral at the end and sleep in the soft brown earth since he hadn't slept for five hundred years! OMG!
📚Similar book I have read is 'A Christmas Carol' by Charles Dickens.
I would recommend this book for children of ages 7 and above as it's a Usborne Young Reading book. Excellent choice for beginners as it has simple text.
Overall it was a great book. What do you think? 😱/😂
