An iconic Irish writer Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) was the multitalented person, who is remembered today as the master of playwriting, verse, short stories and fairy tales. The personal style and wit earned him much fame during his lifetime and after death. His works have inspired countless fellow authors, were translated to numerous languages, and adapted to the stage and screen many times. The famous collections of fairy tales such "From A House of Pomegranates" and "Happy prince and other tales" have fascinated generations of readers. "The Canterville Ghost" is one of such stories.
