"The Canterville Ghost" is a popular short story by Oscar Wilde, widely adapted for the screen and stage. It was the first of Wilde's stories to be published, appearing in the magazine The Court and Society Review in February 1887. A humorous work, this illustration depicts the titular ghost falling victim to a prank by two occupants of the house that he is haunting.
