Bringing together two of Henry James’s most celebrated novellas, this absorbing 2-work collection allows full scope for appreciation of the American-born author’s masterful writing talents.
Daisy Miller (1879) follows the story of a beautiful and spirited young American on holiday with her mother in Switzerland; her friendship with an American gentleman, Mr. Winterbourne, and her subsequent infatuation with a passionate but impoverished Italian.
The Turn of the Screw (1898) tells the story of a young governess sent to a country house to take charge of two orphans, Miles and Flora. Unsettled by a dark foreboding of menace within the house, she comes to believe a malevolent force is stalking the children in her care.
