A terrifying ghost is haunting the ancient mansion of Canterville Chase, complete with creaking floorboards, clanking chains and gruesome disguises - but the new occupants seem strangely undisturbed by his presence. Deftly contrasting the conventional gothic ghost story with the pragmatism of the modern world, Wilde creates a gently comic fable of the conflict between old and new. Rupert Degas's hilarious reading brings the absurdity and theatricality of the story to life.

Ultimately, he cannot escape the disfigurement of sin. Wilde's remarkable wit and memorable, epigrammatic lines dazzle in audiobook form!

The Picture of Dorian Gray is a dark and elegant classic about beauty, corruption, vanity, desire, and the hidden cost of a life devoted only to pleasure. The story follows Dorian Gray, a young man of extraordinary beauty whose portrait mysteriously bears the marks of age, sin, and moral decay while he remains outwardly unchanged.

Celebrated Irish dramatist and wit Oscar Wilde-best known for his poetry and his stage comedies-managed to complete only one novel during his career, The Picture of Dorian Gray, a brilliant and (at the time) scandalous narrative, in which Wilde explores the life of a young man who sells his soul in order to live the profligate life of an avowed hedonist. Through a bit of supernatural magic, Dorian is given a portrait of himself that reflects his sinful and destructive ways while Dorian himself remains as alluring and attractive as the day the painting was created.
