| Publisher Description: A neurotic governess at a country house claims that the two orphaned children in her care are being controlled by spirits for some evil purpose. No one else can see the ghosts, and the children themselves are silent. The psychological ambiguities in this tale have made it one of the world's most famous intellectual ghost stories. |
