A young, inexperienced governess accepts the care of two children in a remote Victorian mansion, with orders not to disturb their guardian. Soon she senses a presence in the house and believes she sees two ghosts haunting the little ones: the previous governess and a servant, dead under strange circumstances. Are they real or a product of her imagination?

For readers of nineteenth-century classics and ghost stories seeking a short novel with an unsettling atmosphere.
Henry James was an American-British author. He is regarded as a key transitional figure between literary realism and literary modernism, and is considered by many to be among the greatest novelists in the English language. He was the son of theologian Henry James Sr. and the brother of philosopher and psychologist William James and diarist Alice James.
