HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved,
essential classics. 'The place, with its grey sky and withered
garlands, its bared spaces and scattered dead leaves, was like a
theatre after the performance-all strewn with crumpled playbills.'
Revered as one of the greatest ghost stories ever told, James's The
Turn of the Screw is an eerie Victorian masterpiece. When an
inexperienced governess goes to work at Bly, a country house in
Essex to look after a young boy Miles and his sister Flora, all
manner of strange events begin to occur. The governess spots a
ghostly man and woman around the grounds and is told by the
housekeeper that the valet and previous governess haunt the house.
It soon becomes clear that the children are inexplicably connected
to these ghosts in some way and the young governess struggles to
protect the children, although from exactly what, she is not sure.
Exploring the psychological and sexual fears of an era, this
ambiguous, suspenseful and anxiety-inspiring novella remains one of
Henry James's most well-known tales.
