The Canterville Ghost Alvaro Parra Pinto

FUN AND EASY TO READ, this didactic workbook in Easy Spanish is based on Oscar Wilde's "THE CANTERVILLE GHOST" ("EL FANTASMA DE CANTERVILLE"), first published in 1887.

For your convenience, the original text has been translated, edited and simplified to ease your reading practice and comprehension. Using simple wording, short sentences, and moderate vocabulary, it is highly recommended for experienced beginning and intermediate Spanish language students interested in boosting their reading skills and comprehension.

Also, after each chapter, you will find a list of Spanish words and typical expressions used in the text and their corresponding translations in English language as well as a series of fun and simple exercises not only with the object of helping you recognize and understand new words but also to help you identify main ideas, relationships, and sequencing, based on the understanding that reading is "a complex, active process of constructing meaning" instead of "mere skill application."
