The Canterville Ghost in real life committed a terrible crime – he killed his wife because she was plain and a bad housekeeper. He was punished for it by his wife’s brothers, who locked him up in a room to starve to death. And yet, the story of the Canterville Ghost is largely a comedy. The ghost has successfully haunted Canterville Chase for hundreds of years, but the Otis family from America prove too much for him, with their practical solutions to all ghostly manifestations, and the terrible twins who torment him until all he dares to do is creep around the house as quietly as possible, instead of wailing and rattling his chains. Finally the ghost confesses his problems to the girl of the family, Virginia, and she helps him to find eternal rest.

História de fantasma, né

Eu simplesmente amo histórias de fantasmas, principalmente se for triste.

Essa é triste, mas é delicada, e principalmente no começo tem uma certa leveza. É o tipo de coisa que eu leria pros meus filhos antes de dormir um dia (sem julgamentos).

A edição que eu estava lendo era ilustrada e bonita e bem leve para carregar por aí.

Achei maravilhoso, mas é uma história curtinha mais voltada para pessoas que gostam do gênero.
