Turn Of The Screw, The (Reading Classics)(C1-C2)

Description: A spine-chilling tale of a young governess’s struggle to protect the children in her care from the ghosts of two previous servants. Simple hallucinations perhaps, or external representations of the woman’s inner torments? James’s 19th-century masterpiece of ambiguous narrative is the precursor of the modern psychological thriller.
