Writing
The Canterville Ghost is one of three stories in this book. In the second story. Lord
Arthur Savile’s Crime, Lord Arthur meets the rather unpleasant Mr Podgers at one of Lady
Windermere’s parties, and his whole life changes. He was going to marry Sybil Merton,
one of the most beautiful girls in London. But now, before he can marry the lovely Sybil, he
has to murder someone!
The third story, The Sphinx Without a Secret, is about the secret life of beautiful,
mysterious Lady Alroy. She lives in a house in the most expensive part of London, so why
does she rent a room in a house in one of the poorer streets? What does she do there?
Who does she meet?
The writer of these stories, Oscar Wilde, was born in Dublin, Ireland, in 1854. His father
was a well-known doctor, and his mother wrote poems.
Wilde went to Trinity College, Dublin, and later studied Latin and Greek at Oxford
University. He was a very clever student, but he was also known for his lifestyle. He loved
beautiful things, and he filled his rooms with them. He wore unusual clothes and amused
people with his clever conversation.
In 1878 he won the Newdigate Prize for his poem, Ravenna. He married a rich Irish
woman, Constance Lloyd, in 1884, and they had two sons. Wilde wrote The Happy Prince
and Other Tales (1888) for them.
Wilde’s first book of poems came out in 1881. He wrote many short stories, but also
the famous full-length book The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890), which was later made into
a film. This is the strange and clever story of a man who does not show his age. He stays
young and handsome for many years. At the same time, a picture of the man grows old
and ugly. Strange things happen when someone loves beauty and the pleasant things in
life too much
By 1895, Wilde was a very successful writer.
