Lo leí para un oral.Siento que esta muy resumido, asi que planeo leer la versión original.

[giugg🧸]

very good this book :)

[Jasmina Casapu]

Libro breve e semplificato (soprattutto per i studenti); nonostante questo l’ho trovato carino, anche se preferisco altro di Oscar Wilde.
Devo leggere il libro completo, assolutamente

You can have your secret as long as I have your heart.

4/5

I had to read this for class and did not expect a story as funny and sweet as this one. The way Wilde parodies the victorian ghost story is delightfull and I can only recommend this for anyone interested in a gentle horror story.

I love Black Cat books: they have colorful illustrations, tons of exercises and the CD-ROM is fantastic, with all the thunders and audio effects.

The Canterville Ghost is the perfect short story to be read with students but maybe Oscar Wilde isn't the easiest author out there.

The first part is really funny. I like this story.
