The Canterville Ghost. Ill. M. Mitrofanov

Oscar Wilde is one of the most famous writers of the Victorian era. His works combine a unique aesthetic and subtle satire, elegance, lyricism, and wit. And "The Canterville Ghost" is one of the most beautiful, romantic, and optimistic of them. Do not be frightened by the old gloomy castle and the restless spirit of Sir Simon living in it — for love, courage, and kindness can conquer any spell and dispel the curse over the Cantervilles' house. The outstanding illustrations by Maxim Mitrofanov remarkably convey the atmosphere of Victorian England — and create a completely unique image of the classic story.
