The Canterville Ghost, The Happy Prince and Other Stories by Oscar Wilde

[Rate: 3.8]
Rating this mainly from the prospective of usefulness for Elementary English users A2. It offers good expressions and some gramarical rules that would be helpful.

I'm not into classics much but these ones I found ironically enjoyable.

As for the adaptation, I can't judge the paraphrazing since I don't know the originals, but I didn't feel the stories were missing major things.

Though mine is a bilingual Eng-Arab translated version xD mostly the English text is the same.
Got in 2011 yet NOW I'm FINALLY reading it
