More about the book
A young governess is sent to a great country house to care for two orphaned children. To begin with Flora and Miles seem to be model pupils but gradually the governess starts to suspect that something is very wrong with them. As she sets out to uncover the corrupt secrets of the house she becomes more and more convinced that something evil is watching her. First published in 1898, Henry James's ghost story still retains its power to fascinate and appal. It is accompanied in this edition by three other haunting tales, 'The Romance of Certain Old Clothes', 'The Friends of the Friends' and 'The Jolly Corner'. Step back to the time of Queen Victoria and open a 'yellowback'. Yellowbacks were low-priced, entertaining books sold through WHSmith bookstalls in railway stations during the nineteenth century. To celebrate their 225th anniversary, WHSmith has recreated these special editions of popular classics in association with Vintage Classics.
