The Castle of Otranto Summary

The Castle of Otranto: Nonsuch Classics by Horace Walpole

Purporting to be based on a (fictitious) sixteenth-century manuscript containing a mediaeval story about spooky goings - on in an Italian castle, this story opens with the death of the heir of the castle of Otrantro, on both his wedding-day and his birthday, crushed by an immense helmet.

Educated at Eton and King's College, Cambridge, he was an antiquary, an historian, a Member of Parliament, a novelist and a printer.
