The turn of the screw and other stories

Henry James, 1843-1916

Book - 2008

A young, inexperienced governess is charged with the care of Miles and Flora, two small children abandoned by their uncle at his grand country house. She sees the figure of an unknown man on the tower and his face at the window. It is Peter Quint, the master's dissolute valet, and he has come for little Miles. But Peter Quint is dead. Like the other tales collected in this book, The Turn of the Screw is to all immediate appearances a ghost story. But are appearances what they seem?
