The interplay between American pragmatism and English tradition provides the framework for a work that is at once humorous and gently reflective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst appearing in the late nineteenth century, the story occupies a distinctive place within Wilde's prose writing, combining wit, narrative economy, and a controlled use of sentiment. It remains widely read as both an introduction to supernatural fiction and a study in tonal balance between comedy and pathos.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis edition presents the original text in a clear and carefully prepared format for contemporary readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.25 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 03, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47880356495511,"sku":"9781515430636","price":25.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/4552\/4631\/files\/r_hHqnC8S89781515430636.webp?v=1781420885","url":"https:\/\/leyambercollective.com\/products\/the-canterville-ghost-hardcover","provider":"Ley Amber Collective","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
