Two of Oscar Wilde's best works are presented here. The Canterville Ghost is the hilarious but futile attempts of a ghost to frighten the family that has been moved into "his" house and which lead to hilarious reprisals from their side, both helpful and checky. The Happy Prince is the story of an extraordinary friendship between a bejewelled statue and a bird flying south for the winter, which not only changes their lives but also the lives of those around them. Who will give in first determines who stays in the house. This book is included in the CBSE's suggested reading list.
