Synopsis

New 6x9 inch paperback edition. A governess is hired to care for two children at a remote house in the pastoral countryside, where things turn for the worse when she becomes convinced the children are consorting with a pair of malevolent ghosts. Henry James's classic prose casts an eerie spell and challenges the reader to decide if the governess is merely insane or encounters real ghosts, and the dreadful implications of either conclusion.

About this title

Review:

Much imitated ... but no one comes near the finesse of the master (The Times)

Timelessly unsettling (Guardian)
