A melhor versão desse conto atemporal

Há alguns anos tinha um bug que deixava o app sem música, mas desde então foi corrigido.
As ilustrações são perfeitas!

A great story well presented

The Canterville Ghost is a gem, of course. It wouldn’t be so famous if it wasn’t. It’s like a forerunner of beatleguise. iClassics did a great job of making the story more vivid and immersive. I feel like they were trying to make it in the style of Burton and Elfman. Great job!
