The Turn of the Screw (Naxos Young Adult Classics)

CD Details

Henry James wrote this haunting novella as a psychological ghost story centered on a governess’s unsettling experiences at an English estate. Narrated through her diary entries, the tale explores her growing unease as she witnesses mysterious apparitions and becomes increasingly concerned about their influence over the two children in her care. The narrative remains deliberately ambiguous, leaving readers uncertain whether the supernatural events are real or products of the governess’s deteriorating mind.

Naxos presents this Young Adult Classics edition as a complete audio performance on CD, featuring narrator Emma Fielding’s compelling interpretation of James’s atmospheric prose. Her reading captures the mounting tension and psychological dread that define this nineteenth-century masterpiece. Own this enduring work of gothic fiction on physical media at a used price.
