Description
The American ambassador, Hiram Otis, buys Canterville Chase, Lord Canterville’s English country mansion, and moves there with his family. But the family soon discover that they must share the house with the ghost of Sir Simon de Canterville, bloodstains, noisy chains and all!
The Otis family are modern Americans – they don’t believe in ghosts – and their mission is to show Sir Simon exactly that. Only young Virginia Otis feels sorry for the ghost and goes on a dangerous journey to help him find peace. Can she really help him?
