An excellent collection of short stories by Henry James featuring The Turn of the Screw, Owen Wingrave, Sir Dominick Ferrand, and The Last of the Valerii. Henry James (1843 – 1916) was an American-British author, regarded as a key transitional figure between literary realism and literary modernism. He is considered by many to be among the greatest novelists in the English language and a master of the psychological ghost story. His story The Turn of the Screw (1898) has garnered a reputation as the most analyzed and ambiguous ghost story in the English language and remains his most widely adapted work in other media.
