Blurb
A young governess arrives at Bly to care for two orphaned children - but soon she begins to see strange figures on the grounds of the remote country house. Are they the ghosts of the former governess Miss Jessel and the servant Peter Quint? Or does the horror arise from her own mind?
Henry James's The Turn of the Screw is one of the most famous ghost stories in world literature and a masterpiece of literary ambiguity. Is this a tale of ghosts, madness, corruption - or all three? Few works of horror have sustained such tension between the seen and the imagined, the supernatural and the psychological.
This is the English-language hardcover edition of the classic book.
