You can have your secret as long as I have your heart.
4/5
I had to read this for class and did not expect a story as funny and sweet as this one. The way Wilde parodies the victorian ghost story is delightfull and I can only recommend this for anyone interested in a gentle horror story.

Até agora ninguém havia se atrevido a permanecer no lúgubre castelo de Canterville o suficiente para descobrir o terrível segredo de seu fantasma. Mas aparece então a família de um Diplomata Americano que compra o castelo com fantasma e tudo.Coitado do fantasma , ao invés de assustar ficou assustado, ao invés de deprimir, ficou deprimido, foi motivo de riso,
escárnios. A praticidade e frieza dos Americanos não lhes permitiam ver o sobrenatural,não havia espaço para o lirismo , para o sentimento. Para eles o pobre fantasma era apenas um hóspede indesejável.

A funny ghost story!, it's very cleverly written and at some points I was laughing out loud!. Not the end I expected, but very good nonetheless.

A short story about an American family who doubt the existence of ghosts purchasing a haunted British mansion during the Victorian era. It's funny for kids and adults, but what they will laugh at isn't the same. Trademark Oscar Wilde satire.
