by Oscar Wilde

"Il fantasma di Canterville e il delitto di Lord Savile" by Oscar Wilde is a collection of short stories published in 1891. This volume presents semi-comic mystery tales where the supernatural meets the mundane in unexpected ways. A nobleman discovers his destiny is murder before marriage.

A generous act of charity transforms a poor man's fortune. Wilde weaves irony and wit through stories where appearances deceive and outcomes surprise.
