About the original book
Oscar Wilde’s late Victorian comic story brings an American family into an old English house reputed to be haunted. It plays with the contrast between modern confidence and inherited customs, and turns on questions of belief, pride, family, and what people fear. The prose mixes clear dialogue with formal, period expressions and some unfamiliar social titles. Most sentences are readable, but the opening uses long, layered sentences and elaborate descriptions, so you may need to follow several details at once.
