description: An innocent, impressionable young governess takes over the education of two delightful children, Flora and Miles, at an isolated country estate. She becomes convinced that the children's former governess and a valet once employed on the estate—both now dead—have returned and are trying to gain control of the children's souls. Her hysteria builds toa terrifying and tragic climax. James's novella demonstrates the idea that the horrors concocted by the imagination are far worse than reality.
