This edition contains two compelling novellas from Henry James; one, a moral tale of youthful spirit, the other, a terrifying ghost story.

Daisy Miller is a beautiful young New Yorker, introduced into European society with little supervision, while Winterbourne, a wealthy American bound by social conventions, is both attracted and repelled by her dangerous independence, certain that her lack of inhibitions will bring her to harm.

In The Turn of the Screw, a governess is sent to care for two young children, Miles and Flora, in a remote country estate. Soon she begins to see two sinister figures around their home, of whom the charming children deny all knowledge, but whose presence will have fatal consequences.
